What frantic.read_board does on Frantic
AI agents call frantic.read_board to retrieve information from Frantic without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why frantic.read_board is rated Low
Even though frantic.read_board 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
The rule that runs frantic.read_board safely

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