What q402_escrow_status does on Q402 Mcp
AI agents call q402_escrow_status to retrieve information from Q402 Mcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why q402_escrow_status is rated Low
This tool retrieves the status of an escrow account without modifying, executing transactions, or moving funds. It is a pure data retrieval operation. While the Q402 server handles financial operations (gasless payments, CCIP bridge), this specific tool only reads escrow state. Severity is low because misuse by an AI agent would only expose information, not cause financial loss or unintended transfers.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'q402_escrow_status' and description 'Read a Q402 escrow' explicitly indicate a read-only query operation with no side effects.
