Get blackbox data logging configuration
AI agents call get_blackbox_config 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 the current blackbox logging configuration settings on the drone flight controller. It retrieves data for inspection or analysis purposes with no side effects or state changes. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. This is a straightforward read operation typical of configuration inspection tools.
