List papers assigned to you for a given venue.
AI agents call list_assignments to retrieve information from OpenReview 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 and queries user assignments without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation, making it a Read-category tool with low severity since exposure would only allow viewing of already-assigned papers relevant to the user's role.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_assignments' and description states it 'List papers assigned to you for a given venue.' The verb 'list' and the read-only nature of retrieving assigned papers indicate data retrieval with no side effects.
