WHAT IT DOES

What download_export does on instantKOM MCP Server

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

RISK

Why download_export is rated Low

Downloading an export file is a read-only operation that retrieves existing data without side effects. The tool does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or involve financial transactions. This is straightforward data retrieval, fitting the Read category with low severity since it only accesses information.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'download_export' and description 'Download an export file' indicate retrieval of data. The action is non-destructive, does not modify state, and matches the Read category pattern of fetching/retrieving data.
