AI agents call teammate_get_topology_stats to retrieve information from Ruflo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves statistics and suggestions about team topology—observational data with no side effects. It queries existing state without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. Even though it may return optimization suggestions, these are informational outputs, not actions that alter system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'teammate_get_topology_stats' and description 'Get topology statistics and optimization suggestions for a team' indicate data retrieval only. The verb 'Get' and absence of mutation language (create, modify, delete) confirm read-only operation.
