List all databases on the Faber server
AI agents call faber_list_databases to retrieve information from Faber MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation to enumerate databases. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify or delete data, and does not commit financial obligations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent querying this tool would only gain visibility into existing database names, which is informational rather than operational risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'faber_list_databases' and description 'List all databases on the Faber server' indicate a query operation that retrieves information without modifying data or triggering external actions.
