Get dashboard KPI data for a specific module.
AI agents call get_dashboard_data to retrieve information from ERPNext 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 key performance indicator (KPI) data from a dashboard for informational purposes only. It performs a read-only query operation with no side effects, no data modification, and no capability to execute commands or trigger external operations. The blast radius is minimal—misuse would at worst expose business metrics data already available within the system to the querying user.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_dashboard_data' and description 'Get dashboard KPI data for a specific module' indicate pure data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution of code/commands.
