AI agents call list_work_experiences to retrieve information from Resume without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries work experience data from local resume documents with no side effects, modifications, or external operations. It fits the Read category definition of retrieving data without side effects. Severity is low because misuse would only expose personal resume information rather than enabling destructive, financial, or code-execution attacks.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_work_experiences' and server context indicate data retrieval. Server description states it is for 'browsing and searching your local resume and job application documents'.
