Convert temperature between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Args: - temperature: Temperature value to convert - from_unit: Source unit (
AI agents call bbq_convert_temperature to retrieve information from BBQ MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a stateless mathematical conversion between temperature units. It takes a numeric value and a source unit, then returns the converted value. No data is read from or written to any system; it is a pure function with zero side effects, making it a Read (informational/query) operation with minimal blast radius.
From the tool's definition 'Convert temperature between Fahrenheit and Celsius' — pure calculation/conversion with no side effects, data storage, or external operations
