Get user profile information from BAND. Optionally specify a band_key to get user info within a specific band context.
AI agents call get_user_information to retrieve information from Band MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves user profile data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of fetching profile information classify it as Read. Severity is low because user profile information is typically non-sensitive or already visible in Band's UI, and misuse would only expose or query existing data without destructive consequences.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_user_information' and description states 'Get user profile information from BAND' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
