List Jenkins views visible to the user.
AI agents call jenkins_list_views to retrieve information from Jenkins Http without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries and returns a list of Jenkins views that are already accessible to the user. It has no side effects, does not modify state, does not execute operations, and does not delete or create resources. It is a straightforward information retrieval operation, making it a Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'jenkins_list_views' and description 'List Jenkins views visible to the user' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves and enumerates existing views without modification.
