WHAT IT DOES

What get_active_forecasts does on Nodebench

AI agents call get_active_forecasts to retrieve information from Nodebench 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_active_forecasts is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves forecast data without side effects. The optional filter parameter (by refresh status) remains a read operation—it does not trigger refresh actions, execute code, or modify data. This is a classic data retrieval pattern with no blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_active_forecasts' and description 'List active forecasts' indicate a retrieval operation with optional filtering. No modification, deletion, or execution of external operations occurs.
