What get_recommendation does on Coach AI
AI agents call get_recommendation to retrieve information from Coach AI without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_recommendation is rated Low
This tool queries the system's stored user patterns and preferences to return a suggestion. It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or move money. It is purely informational—the user must still decide whether to act on the recommendation. The most severe risk is a recommendation being unhelpful or biased, which has minimal blast radius for an AI agent. No destructive or financial operations are possible.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_recommendation' and description 'Get a personalized recommendation for what to do next' indicate a query/retrieval operation.

get_recommendation is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
