WHAT IT DOES

What list_polls does on instantKOM MCP Server

AI agents call list_polls 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.

RISK

Why list_polls is rated Low

The tool retrieves and queries poll data from the instantKOM platform without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data query operation that presents minimal security risk; the main concern would be information disclosure if polls contain sensitive data, but listing is inherently a read-only action.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_polls' and description states 'List all polls with optional filters' — this is a retrieval operation with no side effects.
