## Why ips_sensor_get is rated Low

This tool retrieves IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) sensor configuration data from FortiOS without modifying state. No destructive, financial, or execution capabilities are implied. While the description is empty, the naming pattern and server context provide high confidence this is a simple read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'ips_sensor_get' follows REST GET convention, indicating data retrieval. The '_get' suffix and context within a FortiOS configuration server (sibling tools are all read-only: *_get, *_list operations) strongly suggest querying IPS sensor…"

## Use case

AI agents call ips_sensor_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.
