List blog posts with pagination and optional category filter. Returns slug, title, author, category, published_at, excerpt.
AI agents call blog_list to retrieve information from Mcp Bot Crawler without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool lists and queries blog post metadata (slug, title, author, category, published_at, excerpt) with optional filtering. This is a pure read operation that retrieves data without modifying, executing code, or causing irreversible changes. The pagination and filter parameters are harmless query options. Blast radius is minimal—an AI agent misusing this would only retrieve existing blog metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'blog_list' and description 'List blog posts with pagination and optional category filter. Returns slug, title, author, category, published_at, excerpt' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
