Get all Viva Engage networks the user belongs to
AI agents call get_networks to retrieve information from Mcp Viva Engage without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a pure read operation that lists networks the authenticated user has access to. It retrieves metadata about group membership but does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or move money. The blast radius is minimal—an agent calling this tool can only learn what networks exist and which ones the user is a member of, with no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_networks' and description 'Get all Viva Engage networks the user belongs to' indicate a query operation that retrieves existing data without modification.
