What get_templates does on Connectwise Sell

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

Why get_templates needs a policy

This tool retrieves template information for reference purposes only. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only enumerate available templates, which is informational data with no ability to alter system state or access sensitive customer/financial data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_templates' and description 'List available quote templates' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'List' and read-only nature of querying template metadata confirm this is a data retrieval action.
