What wavexis_intercept_download does on Wavexis
AI agents invoke wavexis_intercept_download to trigger actions in Wavexis. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why wavexis_intercept_download is rated High
This tool intercepts network download requests, which involves hooking into browser network operations and can redirect, block, or capture file downloads. This is an active browser operation with external side effects (intercepting/modifying download behavior), placing it in the Execute category. Misuse could allow an AI agent to capture sensitive files or manipulate download flows, warranting high severity.
