get_ha_status
AI agents call get_ha_status to retrieve information from FortiManager MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Despite an empty description, the tool name strongly suggests this queries HA (High Availability) status of FortiManager devices. This is a read operation with no side effects—it retrieves configuration or system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_ha_status' indicates retrieval of High Availability status information. The 'get_' prefix conventionally denotes read-only query operations that retrieve state without modification.
