WHAT IT DOES

What retrieve_history_tasks_files does on Wpm Mcp Server

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

RISK

Why retrieve_history_tasks_files is rated Low

This is a read-only operation that fetches file metadata associated with task history records. There is no data modification, deletion, execution of code, or financial impact. The tool simply queries and returns metadata, which is characteristic of a Read category tool. The low severity reflects the minimal blast radius if misused - an agent could only access existing metadata, not modify systems or data.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Retrieves the metadata for a specific file' - retrieves data without modification or side effects.
