Get plant loop details: supply equipment, demand components, pump, setpoint manager.
AI agents call get_plant_loop_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.
This tool queries and returns existing building simulation model data without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or triggering external operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition get_plant_loop_details retrieves plant loop configuration details (supply equipment, demand components, pump, setpoint manager) with no modification or execution capability mentioned.
