WHAT IT DOES

What should_delegate_to_agent does on AgentVeil Protocol

AI agents call should_delegate_to_agent as a supporting operation in AgentVeil Protocol workflows.

RISK

Why should_delegate_to_agent is rated Low

The tool name implies it evaluates whether to delegate work to an agent, which sounds like a read/query operation returning a boolean or recommendation. However, with an empty description, it's unclear if it has side effects (e.g., logging the delegation decision via log_avp_interaction sibling tool behavior).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'should_delegate_to_agent' with empty description. Name suggests a decision/recommendation function about delegation.
