Displays the list of contractors available for insurance repair work. Optionally filter by specialty or preferred status.
AI agents call show-contractors to retrieve information from Zava Insurance MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays contractor information with optional filtering—a pure read operation with no side effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an agent could only access contractor data that would typically be visible to authorized users. No data modification, deletion, financial transactions, or code execution is possible.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'show-contractors' and description 'Displays the list of contractors available' indicate a retrieval operation. The phrase 'Optionally filter by specialty or preferred status' confirms data querying without modification.
