What library_catalog_list does on Whiteboard

AI agents call library_catalog_list to retrieve information from Whiteboard without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why library_catalog_list needs a policy

This is a read-only search/discovery operation against a public library catalog. It retrieves metadata to inform subsequent decisions (like library_install) but makes no modifications to data, executes no code, and causes no side effects. The low severity reflects that misuse would at worst return unwanted library metadata, with no destructive or operational consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'search[es] the official Excalidraw library catalog' and 'returns metadata'. The verb 'search' and 'discover' indicate query-only operations. No create, modify, delete, or execute actions are performed.
