Call method on prefab without instantiating

I have an inventory in my game and I want to use uninitialized prefabs to reference some simple data. Is there any reason I couldn't have a method on my item prefab script such as TransformData(), which would return a dictionary? While my initial tests show this works, is it safe as long as I'm not altering data on the prefab?
