WHAT IT DOES

What cms_list_inbound_references does on Munin

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

RISK

Why cms_list_inbound_references is rated Low

The tool performs a read-only operation to retrieve inbound references/links to a CMS entry. While the description mentions it is 'useful before deleting,' the tool itself does not delete or modify anything—it merely lists data to help inform decisions. The destructive action (deletion) would be a separate operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List entries that link to the given entry.' This is a query operation that retrieves or enumerates data with no side effects.
