AI agents call farmbot_list_saved_gardens to retrieve information from Farmbot Agent 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 query of existing saved garden data. It has no side effects, does not modify state, and does not execute hardware commands or delete data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only over-retrieve data or repeatedly query the same information. It fits squarely into the Read category.
