Consolidated document asset and section entrypoint.
AI agents call document_asset to retrieve information from Asset Aware without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and analyzes document assets and sections from PDFs. It is a read operation that queries existing data structures (tables, figures, sections) without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would only expose existing document content, not corrupt or destroy data or trigger external operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'document_asset' with description 'Consolidated document asset and section entrypoint.' The verb 'entrypoint' and 'retrieve and analyze' in server description indicate querying/retrieval of PDF assets without modification.
