AI agents call get_articles to retrieve information from Inoreader without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries RSS article data with optional filters, producing no side effects on the underlying data. It is a straightforward read operation consistent with listing/fetching patterns. The API cost details (request counting) do not change the functional category. No data is created, modified, deleted, or financial transactions initiated.
