Returns the version of this mantisbt-mcp-server instance.
AI agents call get_mcp_version to retrieve information from MantisBT MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward informational read-only operation that queries the server's version metadata. It does not retrieve sensitive business data, create, modify, or delete anything, nor does it execute code or trigger external operations. The blast radius of misuse is negligible.
From the tool's definition Tool returns version information via 'Returns the version' - a query operation with no side effects on data or systems.
