List all Local Government Areas
AI agents call list_lgas to retrieve information from Australian Postcodes MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool simply retrieves and lists existing Local Government Area data. It has no side effects, cannot modify or delete data, and does not execute code or commands. It is a straightforward read-only query operation, making it low severity with negligible blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_lgas' and description 'List all Local Government Areas' indicate a data retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
