Get a single self-notification by ID (platform notification v1).
AI agents call get_self_notification 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.
This tool retrieves a specific self-notification record by its identifier. The 'Get' verb and absence of any modification, deletion, or execution semantics clearly places it in the Read category. The blast radius is minimal as it only accesses existing notification data without altering system state. Severity is low due to limited scope (single notification) and non-sensitive nature of platform notifications.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_self_notification' and description 'Get a single self-notification by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
