get_folders
AI agents call get_folders to retrieve information from Zephyr Scale MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves folder information from Zephyr Scale's test management system. The 'get_' prefix universally indicates a read operation that queries and returns data without creating, modifying, or deleting resources. Even though the description is empty, the naming convention provides strong evidence.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_folders' follows the standard REST API naming pattern for retrieval operations. The verb 'get' indicates a query-only action that retrieves existing folder data without modification or side effects.
