The tool performs a read-only operation to enumerate and inspect Docker containers. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not delete or move resources. While the information retrieved could be sensitive (revealing infrastructure details), the tool itself is fundamentally a data retrieval function with minimal blast radius for accidental misuse.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_containers' and description states '列出所有Docker容器及其状态' (list all Docker containers and their status). This is a query operation that retrieves information about container states without modifying or executing anything.
