WHAT IT DOES

What twitter_get_following does on ScopeGate

RISK

Why twitter_get_following is rated Low

This tool retrieves public or authorized follower information from Twitter/X, which is a read-only query operation. There are no side effects, no data is modified, and the action is reversible by design. The blast radius is minimal—an agent cannot cause harm by reading follower lists. Severity is low because this is purely informational retrieval.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'twitter_get_following' and description 'Get users a user is following' indicate a retrieval operation with no data modification, creation, or deletion.
