Get weather forecast for a location using coordinates.
AI agents call get_forecast to retrieve information from Weather Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves weather forecast information from the National Weather Service public APIs based on coordinate input. It performs a query operation with no side effects, data modification, or irreversible actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could request forecasts for arbitrary locations, but this causes no harm to systems or data. Classification as Read is appropriate.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_forecast' and description states 'Get weather forecast for a location using coordinates.' The verb 'get' and the action of retrieving forecast data with no mention of modification, deletion, or side effects indicates a read-only operation.
