What get_feed does on instantKOM MCP Server
AI agents call get_feed 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.
Why get_feed is rated Low
This is a straightforward data retrieval tool that queries a specific feed resource by its identifier. It performs no writes, deletions, executions, or financial operations. The verb 'Get' and lack of any capability to modify state clearly place it in the Read category with low severity, as unauthorized access to feed data poses minimal risk compared to tools that modify, delete, or execute operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_feed' and description 'Get a specific feed by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
