WHAT IT DOES

What crow_plex_search does on Crow

AI agents call crow_plex_search 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.

RISK

Why crow_plex_search is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries data from a Plex media library without side effects. It performs a search operation that returns metadata about matching media items but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose information about available media in the library.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search[es] the Plex media library by title/name. Returns matching items with metadata.' The verb 'search' and the fact that it returns data without modifying anything indicates a read-only query operation.
