WHAT IT DOES

What list_cached_designs does on Kiln

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

RISK

Why list_cached_designs is rated Low

This tool queries and returns cached design data. The verb 'list' and the filtering capability are characteristic of read-only operations that retrieve information without side effects. No creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact occurs. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an agent listing cached designs poses negligible risk even if misused.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_cached_designs' and description 'List cached designs, optionally filtered by material' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification of state.
