AI agents call get_rootcheck 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 queries and retrieves existing rootkit detection scan results from a Wazuh agent. It performs a read-only operation with no side effects, no data modification, no command execution, and no destructive action. The agent misuse risk is minimal as the tool only exposes historical security scan data for investigation purposes.
