- `GetEnvironmentName(): Text`: Gets the name of the environment.
- `IsSandbox(): Boolean`: Checks if environment type of tenant is Sandbox.
- `IsSaaS(): Boolean`: Checks if the deployment type is SaaS (Software as a Service).
- `IsOnPrem(): Boolean`: Checks the deployment type is OnPremises.
- `IsFinancials(): Boolean`: Checks the application family is Financials.
- `IsSaaSInfrastructure(): Boolean`: Checks if the deployment infrastucture is SaaS (Software as a Service). Note: This function will return false in a Docker container.

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "Environment Information")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
