WHAT IT DOES

What file_pull does on Claude Mobile

AI agents call file_pull to retrieve information from Claude Mobile without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why file_pull is rated Low

The tool retrieves/downloads a file from a device, which is a read operation with no modification of data on the source. However, it could expose sensitive files from the mobile device, warranting medium severity. Confidence is slightly reduced because 'Aurora OS' is an unusual platform not mentioned in the server description (which mentions Android/iOS), and the description is brief.

RECOMMENDED RULE

file_pull Allowed

file_pull is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
