WHAT IT DOES

What openclaw_list_nodes does on LocalAnt

RISK

Why openclaw_list_nodes is rated Low

The tool performs a read-only operation (listing nodes) with no side effects, data modification, or command execution. Deprecation status further reduces severity. Classified as Read with low severity due to the informational nature of the operation and lack of blast radius from misuse.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'openclaw_list_nodes' and description 'List OpenClaw nodes' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of external commands. The DEPRECATED marker suggests this is legacy functionality with minimal active risk.
