Get all OSD element positions in structured format with visibility status
AI agents call get_osd_layout 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 existing OSD layout information (element positions and visibility status). It performs a read operation only—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The function is informational and non-destructive, making it a straightforward Read category with low severity risk.
