AI agents call sql-syntax-help to retrieve information from Sql2odata without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves and displays reference information about supported SQL syntax mappings. It has no side effects, does not execute queries, modify data, or trigger external operations. It is purely informational, making it a Read category tool with low severity.
