WHAT IT DOES

What propose_skill_improvement does on Metis Public Health

AI agents call propose_skill_improvement 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 propose_skill_improvement is rated Low

Even though propose_skill_improvement only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
