Searches for Confluence users based on various criteria. This is useful for finding user details like account IDs when you have partial information or need to perform a broader search. Use this tool when you need to find users based on a query.
AI agents call find_confluence_users to retrieve information from Mcp Atlassian without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves user information from Confluence based on search criteria. It performs a read-only query operation that returns user details (account IDs, names, etc.) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The search/query nature and lack of any mentioned side effects clearly place this in the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it "Searches for Confluence users" and is explicitly described as useful for "finding user details." The verb "searches" and the context of "finding" user information indicates data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
