If it is an automatic, that is very bad. The fluid foams and when it's foam, it can't do its job.

If it is a manual, don't worry about it. Just top it off properly, the next time you change it.

It absolutely does literally foam. Maybe not in idle, just sitting there, but it does when driving under a load. That's when you get cavitation, and the fluid loses its ability to create pressure and to lubricate.
