WHAT IT DOES

What firewall_ippool_create does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server

RISK

Why firewall_ippool_create is rated Medium

The '_create' suffix indicates this tool creates new firewall IP pool configurations. Creating IP pools is a reversible write operation that modifies firewall settings but does not execute code, delete data, or move funds. However, misconfiguration could impact network traffic routing and security posture, justifying 'high' severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'create' indicating data creation; context of FortiOS firewall management with IP pool configuration suggests network infrastructure modification.
