Institution snapshot over a lookback window.
AI agents call get_institution_snapshot to retrieve information from Wellness Pulse without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

It has no capacity to modify, delete, or execute actions—it only reads and returns existing data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: an attacker gains access only to historical snapshot information, not the ability to alter records or trigger external operations.
