WHAT IT DOES

What librecrawl_pause_crawl does on Librecrawl Technical Seo Audit

AI agents invoke librecrawl_pause_crawl to trigger actions in Librecrawl Technical Seo Audit. 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.

RISK

Why librecrawl_pause_crawl is rated High

This tool triggers an external operation (pausing a running crawl process). It doesn't read data, write/modify data persistently, delete anything, or involve finances — it controls the execution state of an ongoing crawl job. Severity is medium because misuse could disrupt an active audit process, but effects are reversible (resumable).

From the tool's definition Pause the currently running crawl. Resume with librecrawl_resume_crawl().
