List all available project templates.
AI agents call list_available_templates to retrieve information from Project Creator MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool simply enumerates available templates without modifying, executing, deleting, or creating any resources. It is a pure read operation that returns informational data about templates, making it the lowest-risk category. Even if an AI agent misuses this tool, it can only obtain metadata about available project templates with no destructive or financial consequences.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_available_templates' and description states 'List all available project templates.' This is a retrieval/query operation with no side effects.
