What get_pwa does on Webcake Storefront
AI agents call get_pwa 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.
Why get_pwa is rated Low
This tool retrieves (gets) site information in PWA (Progressive Web App) format. The verb 'get' and lack of any modification language ('create', 'update', 'delete', 'execute') clearly indicate a read-only operation. The blast radius is minimal—only information exposure risk if sensitive site details are exposed.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_pwa' and description 'Get the site' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification of data.
