WHAT IT DOES

What list-followset-read does on Nostr Bray

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

RISK

Why list-followset-read is rated Low

The tool retrieves follow set information from Nostr without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query operation, making it the least risky category. Low severity because reading follow sets poses minimal security risk—exposure of social graph data is a privacy concern but not immediately harmful compared to destructive or financial operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'read' and description states 'Read a named follow set by name'. This is a retrieval operation that queries existing data (NIP-51 kind 30000 events) with no side effects.
