WHAT IT DOES

What list_bot_env_vars does on instantKOM MCP Server

AI agents call list_bot_env_vars 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 list_bot_env_vars is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves bot environment variable data without side effects. It falls squarely into the Read category as it only fetches existing information from the instantKOM platform. The severity is low because reading environment variables, while potentially sensitive, does not directly harm data or systems and depends on existing access controls.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_bot_env_vars' and description 'List bot environment variables' indicate retrieval of configuration data with no modification, deletion, or execution.
