Get detected suspect access points.
AI agents call get_suspect_aps 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 or queries information about suspect access points detected in the network. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations—it simply fetches existing detection data. This is a pure read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an agent, as it only exposes network security information without enabling any corrective or destructive actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_suspect_aps' and description 'Get detected suspect access points' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of querying detected suspects show no side effects or data modification.
