AI agents call wazuh_get_group to retrieve information from Wazuh without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The "get_" prefix indicates a read/retrieval operation. In the Wazuh security context, fetching group information (likely agent groups or user groups) would be a data retrieval operation with no side effects. Even if misused, an AI agent could only access existing group data, not delete or modify it.
From the tool's definition Tool name "wazuh_get_group" follows the "get_" pattern consistent with retrieval operations. Server context shows tools like "wazuh_get_agent" and "wazuh_get_alert" which are read operations for querying Wazuh SIEM data.
