AI agents call vicsee_get_credits to retrieve information from Vicsee without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries and returns the current credit balance associated with an API key. It performs a read-only operation without modifying, executing, or destroying any data. The low severity reflects that exposure of this tool poses minimal risk — at worst, an agent learns the current credit balance, which is informational only.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get the current VicSee credit balance' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
