What retrieveRefreshTokensWithId does on Fusionauth
AI agents call retrieveRefreshTokensWithId to retrieve information from Fusionauth without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why retrieveRefreshTokensWithId is rated Low
This tool retrieves sensitive authentication credentials (refresh tokens) from a user account. While it is a Read operation with no side effects, the severity is elevated to medium because refresh tokens are highly sensitive security artifacts that could be abused by an attacker to impersonate users or escalate privileges if exposed.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'Retrieves' and description states 'Retrieves the refresh tokens that belong to the user with the given Id.' This is a data retrieval operation with no modification of data.
