Return the soonest upcoming incomplete reminder, or None if none.
AI agents call get_next_reminder to retrieve information from MCP Apple Reminders 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 reminder data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has read-only semantics and minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent. The soonest misuse would be information disclosure, not harmful action.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Return the soonest upcoming incomplete reminder' — a pure retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Return' indicates data fetching only.
