What toggleHttpsInterception does on Whistle
AI agents invoke toggleHttpsInterception to trigger actions in Whistle. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why toggleHttpsInterception is rated High
This tool toggles HTTPS interception on a proxy server, which is an external operation that affects how network traffic is intercepted and decrypted. Enabling HTTPS interception means the proxy can man-in-the-middle TLS connections, which has significant security implications. This is an Execute-category action as it triggers/controls an external proxy operation rather than simply reading or writing data.
From the tool's definition 启用或禁用HTTPS拦截 (Enable or disable HTTPS interception)
