search_cdk_samples_and_constructs
AI agents call search_cdk_samples_and_constructs 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 appears to search or retrieve information about CDK samples and constructs without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. This is a classic Read operation. Confidence is moderately high based on naming, but lowered slightly due to missing description that would confirm the tool's actual behavior.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_cdk_samples_and_constructs' indicates a search operation over CDK (AWS Cloud Development Kit) samples and constructs. The verb 'search' and the objects being queried (samples, constructs) are consistent with read-only retrieval.
