RISK

Why firewall_vip_create is rated Medium

This tool creates firewall VIP objects, which is a reversible write operation to network infrastructure. While the description is empty, the tool name and context (FortiOS firewall management) clearly indicate it modifies firewall configuration. VIP creation has high blast radius due to impact on network traffic routing, but it is reversible (can be deleted), so it is Write not Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'firewall_vip_create' contains 'create', which creates a firewall VIP (Virtual IP) configuration. On a FortiOS device, VIPs are critical network configurations that control traffic routing and NAT behavior.
