Meteor method waiting for subscriptions that aren't there

Question

I have a Meteor method generateUserHash which just passes an ID to Intercom to get back a user hash:

export const generateUserHash = new ValidatedMethod({
  name: 'generateUserHash',

  validate() {},

  run() {
    if (!Meteor.isServer) return;

    if (!this.userId) throw new Meteor.Error('no-user-id');

    return SecureMode.userHash({
      identifier: this.userId,
      secretKey: Meteor.settings.intercom.secretKey,
    });
  },
});

According to Kadira:

I don't understand why it's waiting for all those subscriptions when those are nowhere inside the method.

When do you execute this method? when the app just finishes loading or on demand of user actions? — kkkkkkk, Dec 06 '16 at 06:51

A method will wait on subscriptions even if the subscriptions are not in that method.
