Get macroeconomic forecast for retail and consumer indicators.
AI agents call forecast_retail to retrieve information from MoneyChoice without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves macroeconomic forecast data without modifying state, executing external commands, deleting data, or committing financial obligations. While the underlying forecasts may inform financial decisions, the tool itself only reads/queries forecast data. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would produce misleading forecast information rather than direct financial loss or system damage.
