# list_exports

List one-off exports (newest first), optionally for one organisation. Use this to find an export after payment and to poll its status until it is 'ready'. Side-effect free: it never starts a new export or charges anything. Each entry carries progress, parkedUntil and pollAfterSeconds.

## Why list_exports is rated Low

This tool retrieves status information about existing exports. It performs a straightforward data query operation with no side effects, no modification capabilities, and explicitly no financial impact. The highest risk is information disclosure of export metadata, which is low severity in a read-only backup context.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Side-effect free: it never starts a new export or charges anything' and the operation is to 'List one-off exports'. The tool retrieves and queries existing export data without modification or external action."
