WHAT IT DOES

What gts_status does on Crow

AI agents call gts_status 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 gts_status is rated Low

gts_status is a read-only health check utility that queries and reports on system state metrics. It retrieves information about GoToSocial instance health but does not modify, execute operations, delete data, or commit financial actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent calling this tool can only learn about system state, not affect it.

From the tool's definition Tool reports status information: 'reachability, admin account status, federation peer count, pending notifications, disk usage' — all queries that retrieve and display data without modification.

RECOMMENDED RULE

gts_status Allowed

gts_status is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
