WHAT IT DOES

What user_local_list does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server

AI agents call user_local_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_local_list is rated Low

This tool queries and returns data about local user accounts without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is purely informational. Severity is low because user account enumeration has limited immediate impact in an offline context, though in practice it could inform further attacks if combined with other tools.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'list' and description states 'List all local user accounts' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
