list table for current bitable
AI agents call list_table to retrieve information from Bitable 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 displays existing table metadata or contents from a Bitable workspace. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external triggers—purely informational access. The severity is low because listing tables poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent; the worst outcome would be information disclosure of table names/structure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_table' and description 'list table for current bitable' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' is a classic read operation.
