Tool that returns a list of services for a team based on id
AI agents call get_services_by_team 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 queries service data based on team ID without side effects. It fits the Read category: no data is created, modified, deleted, or external operations triggered. The severity is low because querying service metadata poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_services_by_team' and description states it 'returns a list of services for a team' — a pure query operation with no modification or execution of external operations.
