AI agents call get_fleet_material_summary to retrieve information from Kiln without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and aggregates existing material inventory data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation that gathers information about available materials across printers. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose inventory data without enabling destructive or financial harm.
