WHAT IT DOES

What get_ltc_chain_tips does on VaultPilot MCP

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

RISK

Why get_ltc_chain_tips is rated Low

This tool retrieves blockchain tip information without modifying, executing code, or affecting state. It is a read-only query operation with no side effects, making it a Read category risk. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an AI agent misusing this would only retrieve chain state data, which is publicly available anyway.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description both explicitly state 'READ-ONLY' and describe querying `getchaintips` output, which is a passive data retrieval operation from the Litecoin blockchain.
