Get detailed information about a specific detection rule
AI agents call get_detection_details to retrieve information from Sentinel Solutions MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays information about detection rules—an informational read-only operation. Even though detection rules are security-sensitive content, the tool itself does not execute the rules, create incidents, modify data, or trigger any side effects. The blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_detection_details' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific detection rule' indicate retrieval of existing security content without modification, deletion, or execution.
