AI agents call get_event_reminders to retrieve information from Smokeball without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves/queries reminders associated with a calendar event. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of the operation (fetching existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing actions) classify this as a Read operation. The blast radius is minimal as it only exposes reminder information tied to a specific event with no destructive or financial implications.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_event_reminders' and description 'Get all reminders for a calendar event' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
