What get_folders does on JotForm API Server

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

Why get_folders needs a policy

This tool queries and returns existing folder metadata for the authenticated user. It performs a read-only operation with no ability to modify, delete, or execute actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an agent could only retrieve folder names and organization, which is low-sensitivity metadata compared to actual form submissions or user settings.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_folders' and description states 'Get a list of form folders for this account' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
