Get available actions for a specific platform
AI agents call get_available_actions to retrieve information from Pica MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only operation that queries metadata about available actions on a platform. It retrieves information for display or decision-making purposes with no side effects, data modification, or external operation triggering. The 'get' verb combined with the descriptive purpose confirms it is a Read category tool.
