Proxy list_pay_components to the payroll leaf MCP
AI agents call list_pay_components to retrieve information from MCP Leave Management without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries payroll component data without modifying, executing operations, or deleting anything. It is a read-only proxy to payroll information. While the data sensitivity is moderate (payroll information), the operation itself carries minimal blast radius — an AI agent calling this tool would only retrieve information, not modify pay structures or financial transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_pay_components' and description 'Proxy list_pay_components to the payroll leaf MCP' indicate a data retrieval operation. The verb 'list' is explicitly associated with the Read category (no side effects).
