WHAT IT DOES

What get_recent_actions does on Livepilot

AI agents call get_recent_actions to retrieve information from Livepilot without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_recent_actions is rated Low

This tool retrieves a read-only log of past actions without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational, similar to viewing audit logs or command history. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius: misuse would only expose information about prior actions already performed.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Get a log of recent commands' and 'reviewing what was changed' — retrieval and querying of historical data with no modification or side effects.
