Get weather alerts for a state
AI agents call get-alerts to retrieve information from MCP-Claude without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves weather alert information for a specified state—a read-only query operation with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or destructive capability. The blast radius of misuse is minimal, as an agent could only retrieve weather information, which is non-sensitive public data.
