AI agents call resuml_ats_explain to retrieve information from Resuml without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a query/lookup function that retrieves existing ATS (Applicant Tracking System) rubric information based on a check identifier. It reads and returns structured data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The verb 'return' and the data retrieval nature confirm this is a Read operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool returns rubric entry data (tier, weight, evidence level, description, source) for a given check id - a retrieval operation with no side effects.
