What wifi_vap_create does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server
AI agents use wifi_vap_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 wifi_vap_create is rated Medium
Creating a WiFi VAP is a reversible configuration change that adds a new wireless access point to the FortiOS system. This is a Write operation (not Destructive, as it can be undone by deletion). The severity is high because an AI agent could misconfigure network access controls, create rogue access points, or enable unauthorized wireless connectivity, affecting all clients on that network.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'wifi_vap_create' indicates creation of a WiFi Virtual Access Point. The '_create' suffix explicitly denotes a write operation that modifies FortiOS configuration.
