Get a list of DocTypes in a specific module
AI agents call get_doctypes_in_module to retrieve information from Frappe 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 metadata about document types available in a module. It is a read-only operation that returns information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—even if misused by an AI agent, it only exposes schema information available within the Frappe application's module structure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_doctypes_in_module' and description 'Get a list of DocTypes in a specific module' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
