Gets the current status of the WebSocket server for browser extensions
AI agents call skippr_extension_server_status to retrieve information from Skippr Extension MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves status information about the extension server's WebSocket connection. It performs a read-only query with no ability to modify, execute, delete, or affect any data or operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only learn operational state information.
From the tool's definition The tool name contains 'status' and the description explicitly states it 'Gets the current status' of a WebSocket server. This is a query operation with no side effects.
