WHAT IT DOES

What list_capabilities does on CloudStack MCP Server

AI agents call list_capabilities to retrieve information from CloudStack MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why list_capabilities is rated Low

This tool retrieves and lists system capabilities and features. It performs no modifications, deletions, or execution of operations—only read-access to capability metadata. The blast radius of misuse is minimal as it only exposes information about what the system can do, not actual infrastructure control or data modification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_capabilities' combined with description 'List CloudStack capabilities and features' indicates a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.
