WHAT IT DOES

What get_user_profile does on Metis Public Health

AI agents call get_user_profile to retrieve information from Metis Public Health without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_user_profile is rated Low

The name indicates a read operation—fetching or querying a user profile. No verbs suggesting mutation (update, create, delete) are present. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the pattern of sibling tools (mostly write/add operations) and the naming convention strongly suggest this is a read-only profile retrieval.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_user_profile' strongly suggests retrieval of user profile data with no modification. Description is empty, preventing confirmation of side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

get_user_profile Allowed

get_user_profile is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
