WHAT IT DOES

What scan_missing_assets does on Cutpilot

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

RISK

Why scan_missing_assets is rated Low

Even though scan_missing_assets 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.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs scan_missing_assets safely

scan_missing_assets Allowed

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