List predefined read-only Fortigate commands supported by this MCP server.
AI agents call fortigate_list_allowed_commands to retrieve information from Fortigate MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves a list of supported commands—a pure information retrieval operation with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or external state changes. It helps users discover available read-only operations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius even if an AI agent calls it; the worst outcome is learning which commands are available, which is already documented server-side.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'fortigate_list_allowed_commands' and description 'List predefined read-only Fortigate commands supported by this MCP server' indicates a query/informational operation.
