Get the status of a printer.
AI agents call get_printer_status to retrieve information from OpenSCAD 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 read-only status information from a printer. It has no side effects, cannot alter printer state, and poses minimal risk even if invoked repeatedly or with unusual arguments. Classification as Read is appropriate, with low severity due to the benign nature of status queries.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_printer_status' and description 'Get the status of a printer' indicate a query operation that retrieves printer state information without modifying, executing, or affecting printer hardware.
