=head1 RISKS
The following section is included to inform users about the potential risks,
whether known or unknown, of using this tool. The two main categories of risks
are those created by the nature of the tool (e.g. read-only tools vs. read-write
tools) and those created by bugs.
Percona Toolkit is mature, proven in the real world, and well tested,
but all database tools can pose a risk to the system and the database
server. Before using this tool, please:
pt-stalk is a read-write tool; it collects data from the system and writes it
into a series of files. It should be very low-risk. Some of the options
can cause intrusive data collection to be performed, however, so if you enable
any non-default options, you should read their documentation carefully.

At the time of this release, we know of no bugs that could cause serious harm
to users.
