AI agents call company_a2a_whoami to retrieve information from Wmux without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only reads and returns identity/profile data about the calling agent within the company hierarchy. No data is modified, created, or deleted. Blast radius is minimal since it only exposes metadata about the caller.
From the tool's definition "Identify who you are" and "Returns your name, role, department, and status" — purely retrieves identity information with no side effects
