WHAT IT DOES

What wavexis_set_user_agent does on Wavexis

AI agents use wavexis_set_user_agent to create or update resources in Wavexis, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Wavexis environment.

RISK

Why wavexis_set_user_agent is rated Medium

This tool modifies browser configuration (the User-Agent header) that affects all future network requests. It's a reversible configuration change (Write), not destructive, but it could be misused to impersonate other browsers/clients or bypass bot detection. Medium severity because it affects the behavior of subsequent browser actions but doesn't directly cause harm on its own.
