AI agents call get_course_locations to retrieve information from Eduframe without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves course location information from the Eduframe API without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a simple query/fetch operation with no side effects, fitting the Read category. The severity is low because retrieving location data poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
