AI agents call get_inventory_items to retrieve information from Playfab without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns player inventory data without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—at worst, an attacker could view inventory data they shouldn't see, but no irreversible action occurs.
