get_available_snapshot_dates
AI agents call get_available_snapshot_dates to retrieve information from IB Analytics 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 available snapshot dates for portfolio analysis—a read-only operation. The 'get_' prefix and absence of action verbs (create, update, delete, execute) confirm no modifications occur. Confidence is slightly reduced due to empty description, but the name strongly indicates data retrieval. Severity is low because fetching date metadata poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_available_snapshot_dates' indicates retrieval of date information. No description provided, but the naming pattern and context (analytics server retrieving snapshot metadata) suggests a query/list operation with no side effects.
