What crow_actual_accounts does on Crow
AI agents call crow_actual_accounts to retrieve information from Crow without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why crow_actual_accounts is rated Low
This tool queries and retrieves sensitive financial data (account balances and details) from Actual Budget integration. While it does not execute transactions, move money, or modify data (which would warrant Financial or Write categories), exposing account balances and account listings to an AI agent without proper controls presents a medium-severity information disclosure risk.
From the tool's definition Tool description states "List all Actual Budget accounts with current balances" - this retrieves financial account information and balances without modification.
