Analyzes Zero Trust Firewall effectiveness by action distribution (allow/block ratios), location-based firewall activity, network service usage, and firewall rule hit counts. Use when a security team asks: 'How effective is our firewall?', 'What is being blocked?', 'Show firewall activity by location', 'Which network services are in use?', or 'Generate a firewall report.'
