fortigate_run_audit_readonly
AI agents call fortigate_run_audit_readonly 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.
The tool name includes 'readonly' which strongly suggests it performs read-only operations, consistent with the server's stated purpose of read-only querying and diagnostics. The 'audit' component suggests it reviews configuration or security posture. However, the description is empty, so confidence is reduced.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'readonly' suggesting non-destructive operation; server description states 'read-only querying and diagnostics'
