Get your recent notifications (approvals, payouts, messages)
AI agents call getNotifications to retrieve information from Affilync MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves notification data without modifying, creating, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and presents minimal risk—even if misused by an AI agent, it only exposes the user's own notification history (approvals, payouts, messages), which is informational in nature. No financial transactions, code execution, data destruction, or irreversible state changes occur.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getNotifications' and description 'Get your recent notifications (approvals, payouts, messages)' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and the absence of modification language confirm this is a read-only query.
