AI agents call cap_mta_info to retrieve information from Sflight without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays metadata about a deployment descriptor file. It performs inspection and parsing of static configuration data with no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive operations. It is a straightforward read operation on deployment configuration metadata.
