Find a workspace by its name
AI agents call get_workspace_by_name to retrieve information from Sidvy 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 workspace information based on a name parameter. It is a lookup/search operation that reads data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—at worst, an attacker could discover workspace names or metadata already visible to the authenticated user.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_workspace_by_name' and description 'Find a workspace by its name' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
