What whoami does on TrekMail MCP Server

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

Why whoami needs a policy

This tool only reads and returns information about the current authentication token and account. It has no side effects, does not modify any data, and cannot be misused to cause significant harm beyond information disclosure about the API token itself.
