WHAT IT DOES

What get_active_project does on Cognio

AI agents call get_active_project to retrieve information from Cognio 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_active_project is rated Low

This tool retrieves state information (the name of the currently active project) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a simple query/get operation that has no blast radius if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be returning incorrect context, not causing data loss or unintended actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_active_project' and description indicates it 'Get the currently active project context. Returns the project name' - a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

get_active_project Allowed

get_active_project is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
