WHAT IT DOES

What wavexis_perf_heap_snapshot does on Wavexis

AI agents call wavexis_perf_heap_snapshot 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.

RISK

Why wavexis_perf_heap_snapshot is rated Low

A heap snapshot captures the current state of memory for diagnostic purposes. It is a read/observational operation with no side effects on application data. However, it can be resource-intensive and may expose sensitive in-memory data, warranting a medium severity rating. The description is brief but sufficient to classify as Read.

From the tool's definition 'Capture a heap snapshot' — this retrieves memory/heap state data without modifying it
