get_check_secrets
AI agents call get_check_secrets to retrieve information from Pingera MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves secrets for checks without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. While secrets are sensitive data, the classification reflects the action performed (Read) rather than the data sensitivity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_check_secrets' indicates retrieval of secrets associated with monitoring checks. The 'get_' prefix is consistent with Read operations (retrieve/query data).
