AI agents call get_load_details to retrieve information from Openstudio without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name strongly suggests retrieving or fetching load details from an OpenStudio energy model without modification or execution. No description is provided, which slightly lowers confidence, but the naming convention and server context (querying and analyzing models) support a Read classification. No side effects or destructive operations are implied.
