What user_ldap_create does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server
AI agents use user_ldap_create to create or update resources in FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server environment.
Why user_ldap_create is rated Medium
This tool creates new LDAP user authentication settings in FortiOS. While reversible (users can be deleted/modified), unauthorized creation of LDAP configurations could enable unauthorized access pathways, privilege escalation, or authentication bypass if an AI agent creates entries with dangerous bindings or permissions. The empty description reduces confidence slightly, but the naming convention is clear.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'user_ldap_create' indicates creation of LDAP user configuration objects. The '_create' suffix indicates a write operation that modifies FortiOS configuration.
