Get available folders
AI agents call get_folders to retrieve information from Dart MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or lists folders within a workspace, which is a Read operation with no side effects. The action is purely informational and does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The severity is low as the exposure is limited to folder enumeration, which poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_folders' with description 'Get available folders' indicates a retrieval operation that queries folder metadata without modifying or deleting data.
