WHAT IT DOES

What wordlist_get does on Nyxstrike

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

RISK

Why wordlist_get is rated Low

This tool performs data retrieval only. It fetches a wordlist entry by identifier, which is a passive Read operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute code. While hosted on a penetration testing platform, the tool itself is non-destructive and informational. Severity is low because retrieval of wordlist data has minimal blast radius and no irreversible consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Retrieve a specific wordlist entry by its ID' — a read-only operation that queries data without side effects.
