List all Confluence spaces accessible to the authenticated user.
AI agents call list_spaces to retrieve information from Awesome Confluence without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about available Confluence spaces. It performs a read-only query operation with no side effects, no data modification, and no execution of external operations. The severity is low because listing accessible spaces has minimal blast radius—an AI agent cannot cause damage by invoking this tool, though it may reveal organizational structure information.
From the tool's definition Tool name: 'list_spaces'. Description states 'List all Confluence spaces accessible to the authenticated user.' The verb 'List' indicates data retrieval without modification or execution of operations.
