WHAT IT DOES

What guidance_discover does on Ruflo

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

RISK

Why guidance_discover is rated Low

This tool retrieves and lists available agents and skills from a directory structure—a data discovery/introspection operation. It queries the filesystem state without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing arbitrary code. The verb 'discover' and 'returns live filesystem data' confirm it is a read operation. No reversible writes, destructive actions, code execution, or financial implications are present.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'guidance_discover' and description 'Discover all available agents and skills from the .claude/ directory. Returns live filesystem data.' indicate read-only filesystem querying with no side effects.
