search_montreal_datasets
AI agents call search_montreal_datasets to retrieve information from Données Québec MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name 'search_montreal_datasets' and the context of a data catalogue server strongly suggest this performs read-only queries and retrieval operations. Sibling tools like 'get_dataset_info', 'describe_geospatial_layer', and 'find_and_query' confirm the server's read-heavy design.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'search' and sibling tools on the server include search, explore, and query patterns typical of read-only data access (search, describe, get, geocode, find_and_query).
