AI agents call get_org_chart to retrieve information from Todos without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about organizational hierarchy and titles. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not create/modify/delete data, and does not involve financial transactions. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal security risk, as organizational charts are typically non-sensitive baseline information in most environments.
