Read-only operation with no side effects beyond returning a formatted string.

Safety Assessment

This MCP server is generally safe to use as it only provides formatted date and time strings. The risk is minimal, primarily related to reliance on the system's time and the potential for unexpected formatting if the format string is manipulated.

Read-only operation (only provides formatted datetime strings)
No external network access required
No sensitive data or secrets are handled
Stateless execution

Potential for incorrect date/time formatting if format string is maliciously crafted (unlikely)
Reliance on system clock accuracy
No input validation beyond the format string
