What bundle_find_heavy_deps does on Plugin Hub
AI agents call bundle_find_heavy_deps to retrieve information from Plugin Hub without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why bundle_find_heavy_deps is rated Low
Even though bundle_find_heavy_deps only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
