## read\_script()

`read_script()` speaks a verbatim opening statement at the very start of a call, before any LLM involvement. Use it for compliance disclosures, scripted greetings, or anything that must be delivered word-for-word.

  <span className="text-primary font-semibold">Note:</span> Unlike `Say` in a checklist, `read_script()` fires before any LLM turn and before any task is set. It's the agent's very first words.
