What system_admin_get does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server
AI agents call system_admin_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.
Why system_admin_get is rated Low
The tool retrieves administrator or system administration data from FortiOS. While the description is empty, the naming convention strongly indicates a read-only query operation. However, admin-level data retrieval could expose sensitive configuration or user information, warranting medium severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'system_admin_get' follows the GET/read pattern consistent with sibling tools like 'antivirus_profile_get', 'antivirus_settings_get', 'certificate_ca_list', and 'certificate_local_list'.
