Gets the current version number of a sheet
AI agents call get_sheet_version to retrieve information from Smartsheet MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries metadata (version number) from an existing sheet without modifying, executing code, deleting data, or moving money. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation, making it a Read category risk with low severity.
