This tool retrieves and queries metadata about available tools in the Yunxiao system. It performs no write operations, does not delete data, does not execute code or commands, and does not create or modify state. The read-only clarification in the description further confirms this is a safe information retrieval mechanism with no potential for causing harm through misuse.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get a catalog of all available Yunxiao tools' and explicitly notes the 'read-only status' of tools. The verb 'Get' and the passive discovery nature of the operation indicate data retrieval with no side effects.
