Get details of a test suite including test count
AI agents call get_atf_suite to retrieve information from ServiceNow-MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves metadata about an Automated Test Framework (ATF) suite—specifically its details and test count. This is a straightforward read operation that queries data without side effects, aligning with the 'Read' category for data retrieval tools. No tests are executed, modified, or deleted; it merely fetches information about an existing suite.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_atf_suite' with description 'Get details of a test suite including test count' indicates a retrieval operation with no modification or execution of tests.
