Aggregate operations in ServiceNow typically query and summarize data (e.g., using the Aggregate API to get counts or statistics) without modifying any records. This is consistent with a Read classification. However, confidence is lowered due to the empty description.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'servicenow_aggregate' suggests aggregation/summarization of data (e.g., counts, sums, groupings). Description is empty and uninformative.
