What get_process_details does on Procmon

Why get_process_details is rated Low

This tool reads and returns process introspection data (modules, handles, threads, command line arguments). While it does not modify state, it has medium severity because process details can reveal sensitive information like credentials in command lines, API keys in environment variables, or other security-relevant metadata that could be exploited if an AI agent extracts and exfiltrates this data.

From the tool's definition 'Deep process details: modules, handle count, threads, command line' - retrieves process metadata without modification. The tool name and description indicate a query operation that inspects running processes.
