AI agents call library_insights to retrieve information from Claud-Ear without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
library_insights queries and retrieves summary information about existing audio data. No side effects, no data modification, no external operations triggered, no irreversible actions. This is a straightforward data retrieval operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
