Get all available download links for a Copernicus satellite image
AI agents call get_product_download_links to retrieve information from Copernicus Earth Observation MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries available download links—metadata about where satellite imagery can be obtained. It performs no mutations, executions, deletions, or financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: an attacker gains knowledge of available imagery but cannot download data, delete it, or execute code. Classification as Read is appropriate.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_product_download_links' and description 'Get all available download links for a Copernicus satellite image' indicate data retrieval only.
