Get list of available channel names from a blackbox log
AI agents call get_available_channels to retrieve information from Betaflight MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns information about available channels from existing blackbox log data. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves metadata without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. The action is passive inspection of logged flight data.
