get_document_properties
AI agents call get_document_properties to retrieve information from IBM Content Services MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Despite empty description, the tool name strongly suggests a query operation that retrieves document metadata without side effects. In the context of a document management system (IBM FileNet), property retrieval is a standard read operation. The risk is low because reading properties has no impact on data integrity or system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_document_properties' indicates retrieval of metadata; no write/delete/execute keywords present.
