AI agents call FindArtifactDetailsTool to retrieve information from Velociraptor MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries artifact details from Velociraptor without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a read-only lookup operation that returns artifact information. Even in the context of DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response), which may involve sensitive data, the tool itself only performs retrieval with no side effects, making it a Read classification.
From the tool's definition The tool name 'FindArtifactDetailsTool' combined with the description 'Find a Velociraptor artifact' indicates a retrieval operation. The verb 'Find' and context of querying artifact details suggests data retrieval without modification.

{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"FindArtifactDetailsTool": {}
}
}FindArtifactDetailsTool is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
