Get list of all files in a Smartling project
AI agents call smartling_get_project_files to retrieve information from Smartling MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves a list of files from a Smartling project without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read-only query operation that has minimal security impact even if called inappropriately by an agent, as it only exposes metadata about files already in the project.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get list of all files' - this is a retrieval operation with no side effects. It queries and returns data about existing files in a project.
