## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "assign_sdwan_template",
    "arguments": {}

## Why assign_sdwan_template is rated Medium

The tool assigns (creates/applies) an SD-WAN template to a device, which modifies the device's configuration state. This is reversible via reassignment or removal. While it affects network behavior and could impact availability if misconfigured, it is not Destructive (no deletion), not Execute (no arbitrary code execution), and not Financial.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'assign_sdwan_template' and description 'Assign an SD-WAN template to a device' indicate modifying device configuration. This is a Write operation that creates or modifies network settings."

## Use case

AI agents use assign_sdwan_template to create or update resources in FortiManager MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your FortiManager MCP Server environment.
