WHAT IT DOES

What user_group_list does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server

AI agents call user_group_list 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 user_group_list is rated Low

This tool retrieves and enumerates user group data from FortiOS without creating, modifying, or deleting any resources. The 'list' operation is a standard read-only query. The blast radius is minimal—exposing the list of user groups is a low-risk information disclosure that does not enable further privileged actions by itself.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'user_group_list' and description 'List all user groups' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs user_group_list safely

user_group_list Allowed

user_group_list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
