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

The verb 'get' and absence of any language indicating state changes, deletions, or execution of external operations classify it as a Read operation. The severity is low because retrieving reminder data poses minimal risk—it cannot modify assets, delete data, or trigger unintended actions.
