What get_knowledge_storage does on FlowDot MCP Server
AI agents call get_knowledge_storage to retrieve information from FlowDot MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
