Get SSH / Telnet terminal access settings.
AI agents call get_terminal_settings to retrieve information from Synology MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves terminal access settings configuration from a Synology NAS. While it is non-destructive and does not execute commands, it is classified as medium severity rather than low because the data retrieved (SSH/Telnet settings) could include sensitive information such as enabled ports, authentication methods, and access control details that could be exploited if disclosed to an unauthorized AI agent or…
