Get stored goals
AI agents call get_goals to retrieve information from Enhanced MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves goal data from storage without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has minimal blast radius—misuse would only expose goal information that the user already owns. No destructive, financial, or external execution risks are present.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_goals' combined with description 'Get stored goals' indicates a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'get' and absence of any modification language confirm read-only functionality.
