inspect_document_manifest
AI agents call inspect_document_manifest to retrieve information from Asset Aware without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The term 'inspect' denotes examination or querying without modification. A manifest inspection retrieves document structure or metadata for analysis—a non-destructive, read-only operation. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but context from related tools (which are document retrieval/conversion operations) and the inspect verb support a Read classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'inspect_document_manifest' indicates inspection/retrieval of document metadata or structure. No description provided, but 'inspect' typically denotes read-only analysis.
