AI agents call seoagent_keyword_research to retrieve information from Seoagent without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves keyword metrics and analytics data for analysis purposes.

The action is informational only, making it a straightforward Read category risk with low severity.
