List file uploads.
AI agents call list_file_uploads to retrieve information from Notion 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 or queries metadata about file uploads without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It has no blast radius in terms of data integrity or financial impact. The only minor concern is potential information disclosure if file upload metadata contains sensitive details, but that is inherent to any read operation and does not elevate the category beyond Read.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_file_uploads' and description 'List file uploads' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' is a classic Read operation that queries existing data without modification.
