Get user avatar in Box Platform
A documented Box Platform operation that only reads, so it can watch for changes without altering anything. Describe what you want to happen and HumDay builds it.

How HumDay uses it
- You describe the outcome. Not this operation by name — what you want to happen. HumDay works out which operations it needs.
- The contract names it. Before anything is built, you see exactly which Box Platform operations the program may use, and this is one of them.
- You approve access. Read-only access is still yours to grant, and still limited to what the contract needs.
