AI agents call get_restricted_software_details to retrieve information from JamfMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries data about restricted software policies without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a read-only information lookup consistent with the other sibling tools on this server (get_advanced_computer_searches, get_basic_diagnostics, get_buildings, etc.), which are all Read category tools.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get detailed information about specific restricted software' — purely a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
