List connected Outreach accounts. Takes no parameters — call with {}. Call this FIRST before any Outreach operations to verify authentication. Returns auth mode, connection status, and account details.
AI agents call outreach_list_connected_accounts to retrieve information from Apple Shortcuts without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and lists existing account connection metadata without modifying, executing code against external systems, or causing irreversible changes. It is a diagnostic/verification step prior to other operations, purely informational in nature. Severity is low because exposure of this tool allows an agent to discover what accounts are connected, but not to modify them or perform actions on them.
