Get identity/account information for the API key
AI agents call getIdentity to retrieve information from Follow Up Boss 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 account/identity metadata associated with an API key. It queries existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains knowledge of account details but cannot alter system state or perform actions. This is classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getIdentity' and description 'Get identity/account information for the API key' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and lack of any modification, deletion, or execution language confirms this is a read-only query.
