List all versions of a specific Extension 2.0 by name.
AI agents call get_extension to retrieve information from Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool queries and returns information about extension versions without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a straightforward read operation on observability/configuration data in Dynatrace, posing minimal risk if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_extension' and description states 'List all versions of a specific Extension 2.0 by name' — this is a retrieval operation with no side effects.
