AI agents call get_fathom_meeting_participants to retrieve information from Apple Shortcuts without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward data retrieval operation that queries Fathom meeting metadata to return participant information. It has no side effects on data (no creation, modification, or deletion). The blast radius of misuse is low—an attacker could enumerate meeting attendees but cannot alter records, execute actions, or access sensitive systems. This is unambiguously a Read category tool.

{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_fathom_meeting_participants": {}
}
