What watch_room_todo does on UnClick
AI agents call watch_room_todo to retrieve information from UnClick without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
todo_id | string | Yes | Jobs card UUID. |
thread_id | string | Yes | Chat thread UUID. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why watch_room_todo is rated Low
Even though watch_room_todo only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
