WHAT IT DOES

What get_app does on Webcake Storefront

AI agents call get_app to retrieve information from Webcake Storefront without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_app is rated Low

This tool retrieves metadata about an installed app by its type code, returning data without altering state. It is purely informational and read-only, matching the 'Read' category profile (search, list, get, fetch). Low severity because the blast radius of misuse is minimal—returning app metadata poses no risk of data loss, financial impact, or unauthorized operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_app' and description states 'Get one installed app' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_app safely

get_app Allowed

get_app is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
