Fetch the software capitalisation (CapEx) report from Swarmia.
AI agents call get_capex to retrieve information from Mcp Swarmia without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves financial reporting data (CapEx reports) but does not move money, create financial obligations, or modify any state. It is purely informational—similar to the sibling tools (get_dora_metrics, get_investment_balance, get_fte, get_pull_requests) which all perform safe data retrieval. Even though CapEx is financial in nature, the action is read-only and poses minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_capex' and description 'Fetch the software capitalisation (CapEx) report' indicate a retrieval operation.
