WHAT IT DOES

What cocktail_categories does on UnClick

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

RISK

Why cocktail_categories is rated Low

This tool performs a simple data retrieval operation (list) against a public cocktail database. It returns static reference data (cocktail categories) and has no capability to modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve information already publicly available.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List all cocktail categories' — a read-only query operation that retrieves data from TheCocktailDB with no side effects.
