WHAT IT DOES

What cmdb_get does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server

AI agents call cmdb_get to retrieve information from FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why cmdb_get is rated Low

The 'cmdb_get' tool retrieves configuration data from FortiOS without modifying it. CMDB access exposes system configuration which could be sensitive (firewall rules, certificates, security policies), elevating risk from low to medium severity. However, the empty description prevents high confidence classification. The '_get' suffix and CMDB context indicate read operation rather than modification or execution.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'cmdb_get' with '_get' suffix pattern indicating retrieval operation. CMDB (Configuration Management Database) is typically read-only access to system configuration.
