What find_users does on InvGate Service Desk

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

Why find_users needs a policy

This tool retrieves user information without side effects. It performs a lookup operation across user attributes (username, email, phone, employee number) but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could enumerate users but cannot escalate privileges, modify data, or cause destructive effects through search alone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_users' and description 'Search users by username, email, phone number or employee number' indicate a query/search operation with no modification of data.
