List all connected clients
AI agents call unifi_list_clients to retrieve information from UniFi 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 lists information about connected network clients. It performs a read-only query operation that has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions on the network infrastructure or clients. The blast radius of misuse is minimal (information disclosure about connected clients), making it a low-severity Read category tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'unifi_list_clients' combined with description 'List all connected clients' indicates a query/retrieval operation with no modification of state or data.
