WHAT IT DOES

What get_agent_bootstrap does on CogniRepo

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

RISK

Why get_agent_bootstrap is rated Low

The tool appears to retrieve bootstrap data needed to initialize an agent session, consistent with the server's role in providing persistent memory and context. The 'get_' prefix and positioning among other retrieval-focused sibling tools strongly suggests a Read operation. However, confidence is moderate (0.7) because the description is empty, leaving some ambiguity about exact functionality.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_agent_bootstrap' suggests retrieval of bootstrap/initialization data. Server context indicates this is a memory/context system that retrieves persistent information.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_agent_bootstrap safely

get_agent_bootstrap Allowed

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