Get boot pool health status.
AI agents call get_boot_pool to retrieve information from Truenas Ws without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about the boot pool's health status. It is a read-only query operation with no side effects, no data modification, and no code execution. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would only expose system status information that is typically non-sensitive and already known to an authenticated administrator.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_boot_pool' and description 'Get boot pool health status' indicate a retrieval operation that queries system status without modification.
