ListAHORunsInBatch
AI agents call ListAHORunsInBatch 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 naming convention 'List' followed by a noun phrase ('AHORunsInBatch') is a standard AWS pattern for read-only operations that enumerate or retrieve collections of resources. No language suggesting mutation, deletion, or execution is present. The tool appears to query and return AHO (likely Anomaly/Health Observation) runs in batch form without modifying state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ListAHORunsInBatch' indicates a list/query operation. The 'List' prefix strongly suggests data retrieval with no side effects. Description is empty, reducing confidence slightly.
