Generate a preview of the FDS input file without saving.
AI agents call bulc_preview_fds to retrieve information from BULC Building Designer without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool only generates a preview of the FDS input file and explicitly does not save anything. This is a read/query operation with no side effects on the system.
