List Permit to Work records (HSE add-on). Returns data_unavailable=True when the OSLC OS isn't published.
AI agents call list_permits_to_work 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 retrieves and lists Permit to Work records without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only operation with minimal blast radius—an AI agent misusing it would only access existing permit data, which may be sensitive but carries no immediate operational risk. Severity is low because viewing permit records does not directly enable harmful actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_permits_to_work' and description 'List Permit to Work records' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or deletion. The note about OSLC OS publication status confirms passive data retrieval behavior.
