check_sensitive_file_access
AI agents call check_sensitive_file_access to retrieve information from EU AI Act Compliance MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name suggests reading/querying access control state rather than modifying it or executing external operations. However, confidence is lowered because the description is empty and the tool could potentially execute access checks that trigger security logging or side effects. Classified as Read (retrieval) rather than Execute because 'check' typically implies passive inspection.
