Check health of PyCharm MCP integration.
AI agents call pycharm_health to retrieve information from Session Buddy without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs a health check, which is a read-only operation that retrieves or queries the current state of the PyCharm integration. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed as a side effect. This is purely informational/diagnostic in nature, making it a Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pycharm_health' and description 'Check health of PyCharm MCP integration' indicate a diagnostic/monitoring operation that queries status without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations.
