[Results] Download the configuration used for a test result.
AI agents call results_download_config to retrieve information from CyPerf 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 and downloads configuration metadata associated with a test result. It is a read-only operation that queries and fetches historical test configuration data without side effects, reversible modifications, code execution, destruction, or financial impact. The download operation is a standard data retrieval pattern with minimal risk.
