What get_context_bundle does on Trace

AI agents call get_context_bundle to retrieve information from Trace without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_context_bundle is rated Low

This tool retrieves symbol context from the code intelligence system. There are no side effects, no state modifications, no code execution, and no destructive operations. It queries existing data structures (the cross-language dependency graph) to return symbol information. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose code structure knowledge, not cause harm to systems or data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_context_bundle' and description 'Get a symbol' indicate data retrieval without modification. The verb 'Get' is a canonical read operation that retrieves information about a code symbol from the dependency graph.
