List all project hives for a user. TRIGGERS:
AI agents call list_my_hives to retrieve information from Hivemind MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays existing data (user's project hives) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a straightforward Read operation with minimal security risk—the main concern would be unauthorized access to user data, but the tool itself performs no destructive or problematic actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_my_hives' with description 'List all project hives for a user' indicates a retrieval/query operation with no side effects.
