Get child objects in a hierarchical object tree.
AI agents call dual_get_object_children to retrieve information from DUAL 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 from a hierarchical structure without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only operation that returns information about child objects. The low severity reflects that unauthorized reads of object hierarchy data pose minimal risk compared to write, execute, or destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'dual_get_object_children' and description 'Get child objects in a hierarchical object tree' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
