AI agents call snow_security_risk_assessment 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 analyzes and assesses security posture — reading and evaluating access controls and vulnerabilities. The description uses 'analyzing' which implies a read/query operation. No evidence of writing, executing, or destructive actions. However, 'comprehensive security risk assessment' could theoretically trigger scans or active probes, lowering confidence slightly.
