Why passman_list_credentials is rated Low
This tool retrieves credential metadata from a Passman vault without side effects. However, it accesses sensitive security infrastructure (passwords/credentials vault), which elevates severity to 'high' despite being read-only. An AI agent with access to credential metadata could enumerate vault contents and potentially be tricked into revealing encrypted secrets or social-engineering users.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'list' and description states 'List credentials (metadata only)' and 'Returns each credential's label, id, guid and non-secret flags'. This is a read-only operation that retrieves data without modification.
