Get all grid items
AI agents call gridstack_get_grid_items to retrieve information from GridStack 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 or queries data about grid items in a GridStack.js layout. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of fetching grid items with no destructive or modifying capability places it squarely in the Read category. Severity is low because retrieving dashboard layout information poses minimal risk even if an AI agent misuses it—at worst, it exposes non-sensitive structural data about the grid.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'gridstack_get_grid_items' with description 'Get all grid items' indicates retrieval of existing grid state without modification or side effects.
