## Why listSheetsComments is rated Low

This tool retrieves comment metadata from a Google Spreadsheet with optional filtering by sheet, row, cell, or range. It produces no side effects, does not modify data, and only returns information needed for subsequent operations on those comments. This is a classic Read operation—querying existing data with no mutative capability.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'listSheetsComments' and description state it 'Lists all comments' and 'Returns comment IDs'. The verb 'list' and the function of retrieving/querying existing comments without modification indicates a read-only operation."

## Use case

AI agents call listSheetsComments to retrieve information from Claude MCP x Google Docs without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
