The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent cannot cause harm by retrieving this reference data. This is a straightforward Read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_calendar_types' and description 'Get calendar event types' and 'List all event types used in the parliamentary calendar' and 'Returns list of event types' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_calendar_types to retrieve information from UK Parliament MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
