# PraisonAI dynamic-context artifact tools read arbitrary host files outside artifact storage

## Summary

PraisonAI's Dynamic Context Discovery feature exposes artifact helper tools through `ctx.get_tools()`:

```python ctx = setup_dynamic_context()

agent = Agent( instructions="You are a data analyst.", tools=ctx.get_tools(), hooks=[ctx.get_middleware()], ) ```

The official documentation describes these helpers as a way for the agent to explore large tool-output artifacts that were queued by the middleware:

- large tool outputs are saved as artifacts; - the agent receives compact artifact references; and - the agent uses `artifact_tail` and `artifact_grep` to explore that data.

The implemented artifact tools do not enforce that the supplied `artifact_path` is an artifact created by the configured store or that it lives under the configured artifact base directory. Instead, `artifact_head`, `artifact_tail`, `artifact_grep`, and `artifact_chunk` wrap the caller-supplied path directly into an `ArtifactRef` and then read it from the host filesystem.

As a result, any prompt/user/tool-caller that can influence those tool arguments can read files readable by the PraisonAI process, such as project `.env` files, cloud credentials, SSH keys, source files, or other local data.
