AI agents call jira_get_link_types to retrieve information from Jiraxmcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about available link types in Jira without modifying, creating, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read-only query that returns enumerated data. The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent cannot misuse this to cause harm, as it only exposes configuration information.
