Extract hashtags and keywords
AI agents call extract_topics to retrieve information from Twitter MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

It retrieves information from tweets but does not create, modify, delete, or execute arbitrary actions. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused by an agent, as extraction cannot harm user accounts or data.
