Get information about all views in the current drawing
AI agents call get_drawing_views to retrieve information from Solidworks 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 information about drawing views without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and presents minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes read-only access to existing drawing metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_drawing_views' and description 'Get information about all views in the current drawing' indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution of external operations.
