search_assets
AI agents call search_assets to retrieve information from MCP Maximo Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs a search operation on assets, which is a query/retrieval action with no side effects. It retrieves data from the Maximo asset management system without modifying or deleting anything. Confidence is 0.8 rather than higher due to the empty description, though the function name is unambiguous.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_assets' and context indicates querying/retrieving asset data. The sibling tools include 'get_asset', 'create_asset', and 'issue_inventory', positioning this as a retrieval operation.
