AI agents call get_agent_hotfixes 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.
This tool retrieves read-only information about installed Windows patches from a monitored agent. It queries system metadata without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. Consistent with sibling tools (get_agent, get_agent_network, get_agent_os, etc.) which are all data retrieval operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_agent_hotfixes' and description 'List Windows hotfixes/patches installed on a Wazuh agent' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.
