Risk explanation
It is an OSINT tool that can query people, domains, IPs, and breach data, so use it only on targets you are authorized to investigate, store results in a location you control, and confirm the legal basis before using it for hiring, credit, or other consequential decisions; It exposes an MCP server and a CLI that an AI agent can drive, so scope the agent's tool permissions, log every query, and confirm what gets cached or persisted before granting production credentials or letting it touch sensitive identifiers.
