WHAT IT DOES

What suggest_basis_text does on Agenttool

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

RISK

Why suggest_basis_text is rated Low

Even though suggest_basis_text 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.
