Returns the version of the QC MCP Server that's running.
AI agents call read_mcp_server_version to retrieve information from QuantConnect 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 and returns server version information, which is a read-only query operation with no capability to modify, execute, delete, or affect any data or systems. It poses minimal risk as version information is typically non-sensitive metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'read_mcp_server_version' and description 'Returns the version of the QC MCP Server that's running' indicate a simple retrieval of version metadata with no side effects.
