WHAT IT DOES

What crow_set_discoverable does on Crow

AI agents use crow_set_discoverable to create or update resources in Crow, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Crow environment.

RISK

Why crow_set_discoverable is rated Medium

This tool modifies user account configuration (discoverable status via email hash) but is reversible—users can opt in or out. It does not create irreversible destructive changes, execute arbitrary code, move money, or retrieve sensitive data directly. However, it impacts user privacy visibility, affecting who can discover the user's contact information, hence medium severity.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it allows users to 'opt in or out' and 'set your email hash', which are data modification operations that change user account discoveryability settings.
