AI agents call metasploit_exploit_info to retrieve information from Kali without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves descriptive metadata about Metasploit modules. It is a read-only information lookup with no side effects—it neither executes code, modifies data, nor triggers security operations. The absence of words like 'run', 'execute', 'exploit', or 'launch' in the description confirms it merely fetches and displays information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'metasploit_exploit_info' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific Metasploit module' indicate a query/lookup operation that retrieves existing module information without executing exploits or triggering any external effects.
