query_course_resources
AI agents call query_course_resources to retrieve information from Xiaoya Teacher without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name clearly contains the verb 'query', which is a non-mutating data retrieval operation. In the context of a teacher management platform, querying course resources would retrieve or list existing resources without modification. Despite the empty description limiting confidence slightly, the naming convention and sibling tools support classification as a Read operation with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'query_course_resources' indicates a query operation; sibling context includes other read operations like 'auth_status' and write operations like 'batch_create_questions' and 'configure_paper_basics', suggesting this follows a read pattern.
