Export an asset report to PDF (A4, branded header). Returns base64-encoded file + filename.
AI agents call export_asset_report_pdf to retrieve information from Maximo Enterprise MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool generates a read-only report from existing asset data and returns it as a base64-encoded PDF. It has no side effects on the underlying data. The worst misuse scenario is information disclosure (asset data exposed), which is low-to-medium severity, but since it's a report export rather than raw data dump with no write capability, low severity is appropriate.
From the tool's definition 'Export an asset report to PDF' and 'Returns base64-encoded file + filename' — the tool reads/retrieves existing asset data and renders it as a PDF; no data is created, modified, or deleted.
