List the non-archived work items on a LaunchNotes project
AI agents call launchnotes_list_work_items to retrieve information from LaunchNotes 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 queries work items from a LaunchNotes project without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a standard read operation that has no blast radius if misused—an AI agent calling this tool would only retrieve data already accessible to the authenticated user, posing minimal security risk.
