📊 Get current SlopWatch status and recent verification results
AI agents call slopwatch_status to retrieve information from SlopWatch MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays status information and verification results without modifying data, executing code, deleting records, or triggering external operations. It is purely informational/observational in nature, making it a Read category risk with low severity since misuse would only expose existing data rather than cause damage or side effects.

{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"slopwatch_status": {}
}
