List wp-content files available at a point in time (read-only, does not restore)
AI agents call sitebay_backup_get_files to retrieve information from SiteBay MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries/retrieves file information from backup snapshots without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is informational only, making it a Read category risk. Severity is low because unauthorized access to file listings poses minimal blast radius compared to other tools on this server (backups can be restored, WP-CLI can execute commands, browsers can perform admin actions).
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'List wp-content files available at a point in time (read-only, does not restore)'. The read-only designation and use of 'List' confirm this is a retrieval operation with no side effects.
