AI agents call get_today_date to retrieve information from Wind MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns the current date from the server. It is a read-only operation that retrieves information without modifying, executing code, deleting data, or affecting financial transactions. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius even if misused by an AI agent.

"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_today_date": {}
}
