List recent conversations with metadata
AI agents call list_conversations to retrieve information from Beeper 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 displays conversation metadata without modifying, executing operations on, or deleting data. It is a straightforward read operation on local message history. The read-only nature of the server and the passive listing function confirm the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'list recent conversations with metadata' and server description emphasizes 'read-only access' and 'search conversations, read messages, and list recent chats'.
