Poll the result of an SMTP connection test by job_id.
AI agents call get_smtp_test_status to retrieve information from TrekMail MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool polls and retrieves the status of a previously initiated SMTP test. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations—it only queries and returns data about an existing test job. This is a classic Read operation with minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_smtp_test_status' and description 'Poll the result of an SMTP connection test by job_id' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves status information.
