Get detailed information about a specific Jenkins node/agent
AI agents call jenkins_get_node to retrieve information from Mcp Jenkins without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves read-only information about a Jenkins node/agent without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward query operation that returns existing data about node/agent configuration and status.
