Look up one OSHA inspection by activity number and optionally join violation/citation records.
AI agents call osha_inspection_detail to retrieve information from DOL WHD MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and queries public Department of Labor/OSHA inspection data by activity number. It has no capability to modify, delete, execute commands, or affect financial systems. The operation is read-only with no side effects, making it a standard Read classification. Severity is low because misuse would at most retrieve publicly available government enforcement records without causing harm.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Look up one OSHA inspection' — this is a data retrieval operation. The phrase 'join violation/citation records' indicates querying and combining existing records, not modifying, executing operations, or deleting data.
