Gets a report of all services that have open debts and a count of the number of debts associated with them
AI agents call get_debt to retrieve information from Service Atlas 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 reports existing debt information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure data query with no blast radius from misuse beyond potential information disclosure, which is low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Gets a report of all services that have open debts' — a retrieval/query operation with no modification or side effects. The verb 'Gets' and the nature of generating a report indicate read-only data access.
