List all currently blocked IP addresses.
AI agents call get_blocked_ips to retrieve information from Security-Use MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns data about blocked IP addresses without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation that retrieves security configuration state. The severity is low because access to this information poses minimal direct risk—it does not enable unauthorized access, data modification, or system compromise.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'List all currently blocked IP addresses' - a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of external systems.
