AI agents call recommend_partner to retrieve information from StackSwap without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This is a lookup/retrieval operation that queries a database of GTM tools and partners to surface recommendations. Even though it returns sign-up URLs (which could be actionable), the tool itself only retrieves and presents information—it does not create accounts, charge money, or modify any state. Providing affiliate links is informational output typical of Read-category tools.
From the tool's definition Tool 'recommend_partner' returns recommended affiliate partners and sign-up URLs based on a query input ('outbound', 'CRM', 'automation'). The description uses 'return', indicating data retrieval with no modifications.
