Get AP CLI configuration for a group or specific AP.
AI agents call get_ap_cli_config to retrieve information from HPE Aruba Networking Central MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves existing AP (Access Point) CLI configuration data without modifying, executing against, or deleting any resources. Configuration queries are standard Read operations with minimal risk when exposed to an AI agent, as the worst outcome is information disclosure rather than system state changes or command execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_ap_cli_config' with description 'Get AP CLI configuration' indicates a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of configuration retrieval (not modification or execution) align with the Read category.
