get_rule_files
AI agents call get_rule_files to retrieve information from Wazuh MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The get_ prefix and context of a security monitoring platform indicate this retrieves rule file information for analysis purposes. No side effects, modifications, or destructive operations are evident. Lower confidence (0.7) due to empty description, but the naming pattern is consistent with read-only operations on the Wazuh platform.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_rule_files' indicates a retrieval operation; no description provided but naming convention and sibling tools (all get_* functions) strongly suggest querying/fetching data without modification
