WHAT IT DOES

What federation_trust does on Claude Flow

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

RISK

Why federation_trust is rated Low

This tool retrieves trust score metadata for a federation node. There is no indication of write, deletion, execution, or financial operations. The action is informational and observational only, with no side effects or ability to alter system state. Low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—at worst, information disclosure of trust metrics.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'federation_trust' and description 'View or review trust score details for a specific node' indicate read-only operations. Keywords 'view' and 'review' denote querying/retrieving information without modification.
