WHAT IT DOES

What transfer_plugin-info does on Claude Flow

AI agents call transfer_plugin-info 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 transfer_plugin-info is rated Low

The tool description explicitly states it retrieves ('Get') detailed information about a plugin. This is a read-only operation with no data modification, execution, or destructive capability described. Confidence is slightly reduced because the description appears truncated ('Use when native package install ('), leaving some uncertainty about whether any side effects exist beyond information retrieval.

From the tool's definition 'Get detailed info about a plugin' — retrieves information only, no side effects indicated
