This tool performs a query operation (list) to retrieve account metadata. It has no side effects, does not modify or delete data, and does not execute code or trigger external operations. The token optimization note confirms it returns summary information only, reinforcing its read-only nature. Blast radius is minimal — an agent can only discover what accounts exist, which is low-sensitivity metadata.
