get_plan_workitems
AI agents call get_plan_workitems to retrieve information from PolarionMcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The 'get_' prefix combined with the context of other similar retrieval tools on the same MCP server indicates this is a data retrieval operation with no side effects. It queries work items related to a plan without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. No financial or destructive operations are involved.
