What list_exports does on instantKOM MCP Server
AI agents call list_exports to retrieve information from instantKOM MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why list_exports is rated Low
This tool queries and returns information about existing data exports. It retrieves data without creating, modifying, deleting, or triggering external operations. The 'list' verb is a canonical Read operation.
