Show current project configuration
AI agents call confluence_show_config to retrieve information from Confluence 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 and displays configuration information without modifying, creating, or deleting any data. It is a read-only query operation that simply exposes the current state of project settings. The low severity reflects that configuration data exposure has minimal impact compared to other Confluence operations like page creation/deletion or account modifications.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'confluence_show_config' and description 'Show current project configuration' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
