Get detailed information about a specific Fabric connection
AI agents call get_fabric_connection to retrieve information from Equinix Fabric MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries data about Fabric connections without creating, modifying, or deleting resources. It is a read-only operation. Severity is medium rather than low because exposure of detailed network infrastructure connection information could aid reconnaissance for further attacks, but it causes no direct harm or side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_fabric_connection' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific Fabric connection' indicate a retrieval operation with no modifications.
