AI agents call get_parliament_votes to retrieve information from Mcp Swiss without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

It is a read-only operation that retrieves information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any code. The data returned is public parliamentary information. No side effects or state changes occur. Severity is low as misuse would only result in retrieving publicly available information.
