WHAT IT DOES

What get_deposit_invoice does on Lightning Wallet

RISK

Why get_deposit_invoice is rated Critical

This tool initiates a Bitcoin Lightning Network payment flow by creating an invoice intended to move real funds (sats) into an account. While creating an invoice alone doesn't move money, it is a direct step in committing a financial transaction (depositing sats), making it Financial in nature. Misuse could lead to unintended fund movements or phishing-style invoice generation.

From the tool's definition 'Create a Lightning invoice to fund your operator account. Pay this invoice to add sats to your balance.'
