List all custom service definitions for a given technology (classic Config API v1, read-only).
AI agents call list_custom_services 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 custom service definitions from Dynatrace observability platform without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. The read-only designation and listing operation place it firmly in the Read category with low severity, as unauthorized access to service definitions poses minimal risk compared to destructive or financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_custom_services' and description explicitly states 'read-only' and 'List all custom service definitions'. The API endpoint (classic Config API v1) and operation ('List') confirm pure data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
