list_agent_runtime_versions
AI agents call list_agent_runtime_versions to retrieve information from AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool lists agent runtime versions, which is a query/retrieval operation that retrieves information without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. No side effects are indicated by the name. Despite the empty description reducing confidence slightly, the 'list_' prefix strongly suggests a Read category operation.
