AI agents call tdarr_read_job_file to retrieve information from Tdarr without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries job report information from the Tdarr transcoding system. Reading reports is a non-destructive, informational operation with no capability to modify state, execute commands, or cause irreversible changes. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent — it can only access existing job data.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'read' and description states 'Read a job report' — purely retrieves existing job report data without modification or side effects.
