Report local Amira-Avizo paths used by this MCP server.
AI agents call get_avizo_installation to retrieve information from Avizo 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 reports configuration/path information about the local Amira-Avizo installation. It performs a query operation with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or resource consumption beyond reading system state. The severity is low because exposing installation paths poses minimal direct risk, though they could inform reconnaissance in a broader attack.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_avizo_installation' and description 'Report local Amira-Avizo paths used by this MCP server' indicate querying/reporting of installation paths with no modification or execution.
