WHAT IT DOES

What list_skills does on Hermoso

AI agents call list_skills to retrieve information from Hermoso 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_skills is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries workflow instruction metadata from the Hermoso ad generation system. It performs no modifications, execution of external processes, data deletion, or financial transactions. The explicit 'Read-only' designation and the lack of any action verbs suggesting mutation (create, update, delete, execute, run) confirm this is a simple data retrieval operation with minimal risk.

From the tool's definition Tool is explicitly described as 'Read-only' and lists bundled workflow instructions (SKILL.md files) without modifying, executing, or deleting any data.

list_skills Allowed

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