List collections (dashboard groups) in a Birst space. Collections contain dashboards.
AI agents call birst_list_collections to retrieve information from Infor Birst MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

It retrieves data about dashboard groups but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only discover what collections exist in a Birst space.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'birst_list_collections' and description 'List collections (dashboard groups) in a Birst space' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves and enumerates existing dashboard collections without modification.
