Get an agent
AI agents call swarmtrade_get_reputation to retrieve information from Swarmtrade without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves reputation or agent information without modifying, executing code, or causing destructive changes. Even in a financial trading context, reputation queries are informational lookups. Confidence is 0.85 (not higher) because the description 'Get an agent' is vague and doesn't explicitly mention reputation, though the tool name strongly suggests a read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'swarmtrade_get_reputation' and description 'Get an agent' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of reputation lookups confirm this is a data retrieval function.
