list_collections

What list_collections does on ProAgentStore

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

Why list_collections is rated Low

This tool retrieves schema information and metadata about existing collections—purely informational with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The low severity reflects the limited blast radius of exposing collection structure information; while schema details could inform an attack, the tool itself performs no destructive or consequential actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_collections' and description states it 'List all data collections (tables) for an agent. Shows schema and record counts.' The verbs 'list' and 'shows' indicate read-only retrieval of metadata without modification.
