Return active technicians at a site, optionally craft-filtered, ordered by current open-assignment count (least busy first).
AI agents call find_available_technician 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 reads technician availability and status information from the Maximo system to support scheduling decisions. It has no side effects on technician records, assignments, or system state—it only retrieves and presents existing data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal (information disclosure about staffing levels), warranting 'low' severity.
From the tool's definition Tool returns/queries data on 'active technicians at a site' with no indication of modifications, deletions, or external execution. The verb 'return' and description structure match retrieval patterns.
