WHAT IT DOES

What log_dns does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server

AI agents call log_dns 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 log_dns is rated Low

Despite the empty description reducing confidence, DNS logging tools typically retrieve historical log entries without side effects. The 'log_' prefix is consistent with Read category tools that query existing data. This is consistent with the sibling tools on the server (antivirus_profile_get, antivirus_settings_get, certificate_ca_list) which are retrieval-oriented.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'log_dns' with empty description suggests querying or retrieving DNS log data. The 'log_' prefix and DNS context indicate data retrieval rather than modification or execution.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE
