WHAT IT DOES

What get_permissions_issues does on EMBA-MCP

AI agents call get_permissions_issues to retrieve information from EMBA-MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_permissions_issues is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries permission-related issues from firmware analysis results. While the description is empty, the 'get_' prefix and its placement among other read-only analysis tools strongly indicate it performs data retrieval.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_permissions_issues' follows the 'get_' prefix pattern consistent with sibling tools like 'get_binary_protection_mechanisms', 'get_kernel_info', and 'get_credentials_and_secrets', which are retrieval functions.
