List all OpenReview venues where you have an active role (Reviewer, Area Chair, or Senior Area Chair).
AI agents call list_venues 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 information about venues where the user holds a role. It performs a query operation that returns existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The blast radius is minimal—a misused call would only expose venue information already accessible to the authenticated user. This is a straightforward Read category tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_venues' and description 'List all OpenReview venues where you have an active role' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
