Get alert history for a specific city from the local SQLite database.
AI agents call get_city_alerts to retrieve information from Pikud Haoref Alert System without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries historical alert data filtered by city. It retrieves information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations with side effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — worst case an agent repeatedly queries the database for information it already has access to. No irreversible changes, code execution, or financial impact is possible.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get alert history for a specific city from the local SQLite database' — this is a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data. The verb 'Get' and the phrase 'from the local SQLite database' indicate a read-only query.
