AI agents call snow_security_dashboard to retrieve information from Serac without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool generates/displays a dashboard with real-time metrics — this is fundamentally a read/query operation that retrieves and aggregates security data for display. No data modification, execution, or financial action is implied. Severity is medium because security dashboards can expose sensitive operational data about vulnerabilities and incidents, making misuse or unauthorized access potentially impactful.
