AI agents call batch_download_documents to retrieve information from Filevine without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves/queries documents by downloading them in batch via document IDs. It is a read operation with no data creation, modification, deletion, or execution of code. The blast radius is low since downloads do not alter state or commit any irreversible actions.
From the tool's definition batch_download_documents requests a batch download of documents (retrieves data), with no modification, deletion, or side effects beyond reading
