get_external_links
AI agents call get_external_links to retrieve information from Korean Law MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves external links associated with legal resources. No modification, deletion, code execution, or financial action is indicated. Given the server's purpose (search and retrieve legal data) and sibling tools that are all Read operations, this tool almost certainly retrieves and returns link data without side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool is part of a legal research/retrieval server (Korean Law MCP) alongside other Read tools like 'read_legal_resource', 'search_korean_law', 'search_law_articles', and 'search_legal_terms'.
