What get_host_tree does on 1Panel MCP Server

Why get_host_tree is rated Low
This tool retrieves or queries the host directory/file tree structure for inspection purposes. There are no side effects, modifications, or destructive operations implied. While the context is infrastructure management, the specific action is data retrieval only, making it a Read category tool. Confidence is slightly reduced because the description is minimal, but the name strongly suggests a safe query operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_host_tree' and description 'Get host tree' indicate a retrieval operation that queries host/filesystem hierarchical structure. The verb 'get' is a standard read operation with no indication of modification, deletion, or command execution.
