Get product properties supported for a specific taxonomy ID
AI agents call getPropertiesByTaxonomyId to retrieve information from Etsy MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward read operation that fetches static product property metadata associated with a taxonomy category. It has no side effects, does not modify state, and poses minimal risk if called by an AI agent. The data returned is informational and used to support listing creation workflows.
