AI agents call html_docs_list to retrieve information from Llama without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries a list of HTML documents without any side effects. It performs a simple enumeration of existing data and does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The incomplete description still clearly indicates a listing/retrieval function, which is the least severe category.
