WHAT IT DOES

What list-glossaries does on DeepL

AI agents call list-glossaries to retrieve information from DeepL without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why list-glossaries is rated Low

This tool retrieves and lists glossary information without side effects. It is a read-only operation that queries existing data. The low severity reflects that exposure of glossary metadata poses minimal risk compared to tools that could execute code, modify data, or trigger external operations.

From the tool's definition Tool is named 'list-glossaries' and described as 'List all glossaries and their metadata' — a pure query operation with no modification or execution capabilities.
