List Lightning Network channels
AI agents call rgb_list_lightning_channels to retrieve information from RGB Lightning Network MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and lists existing Lightning Network channels, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only discover channel topology or financial exposure, but cannot move funds or cause irreversible harm.
