[Notifications] List notifications.
AI agents call notifications_list to retrieve information from CyPerf MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and lists existing notifications from the CyPerf system. It performs a read-only operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute actions. The blast radius is minimal—at worst, an AI agent could retrieve sensitive notification details, but cannot cause harm through this tool alone. Classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'notifications_list' and description 'List notifications' indicate a query operation that retrieves notification data without modification or side effects.
