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 XKCD 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.

- Does this change anything in my XKCD account?
- No. This is a read-only operation, so it can be used to watch for changes or fetch data without altering anything in XKCD.
- Do I need to write code?
