Get all schedules for a Switcher device
AI agents call get_schedules to retrieve information from Switcher 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 existing schedule information from a Switcher KIS device without modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It is a pure read operation that queries device state. The low severity reflects that unauthorized access to schedule metadata poses minimal risk compared to tools that control device power or delete schedules.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_schedules' and description 'Get all schedules for a Switcher device' indicate a data retrieval operation with no side effects.
