Get all associations of a specific type between objects
AI agents call crm_get_associations to retrieve information from HubSpot MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves association data between CRM objects without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a read-only query operation with minimal risk of misuse by an AI agent, as it only exposes existing relationship data without side effects.
