What wavexis_list_tabs does on Wavexis
AI agents call wavexis_list_tabs to retrieve information from Wavexis without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why wavexis_list_tabs is rated Low
This tool retrieves information about the state of open browser tabs without modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It is a pure read operation analogous to 'list' or 'get'. The blast radius if misused by an AI agent is minimal — at worst, the agent learns which tabs are open, which is low sensitivity information in most contexts.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'List all open browser tabs' — a query operation with no side effects.
