List all entity types registered in the Context Broker.
AI agents call orion_list_types to retrieve information from Fiware Orion 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 that lists entity types from the Context Broker. It retrieves information with no side effects, reversible actions, or external operations triggered. The blast radius is minimal as it only exposes metadata about registered entity types in the system, which is informational in nature.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'orion_list_types' and description 'List all entity types registered in the Context Broker' indicate a query operation that retrieves metadata about entity types without modification or deletion.
