What search_content does on Ncp

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

Why search_content is rated Low

This tool performs a search operation on Confluence, which is a read-only action that retrieves information without side effects. Searching does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—it simply queries and returns existing content. This is a classic Read category tool with low severity since misuse would only expose existing data already accessible to the user in Confluence.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_content' and description 'Search Confluence content' indicate a query operation that retrieves data without modifying it.
