This tool retrieves monitoring/status information about currently connected NFS clients. It is a passive read operation that queries system state without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent calling this repeatedly would at worst cause minor performance impact from excessive monitoring queries, not data loss or system compromise.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'nfs_client_count' and description 'Get the number of connected NFS clients' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
