List available display resolutions for all monitors
AI agents call monitor_list_resolutions to retrieve information from Mcp Windows without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple informational read of system display properties. It has no capability to modify settings, execute commands, delete data, or cause financial impact. The read category is appropriate, and severity is low as the information disclosed (available resolutions) is not sensitive and cannot be exploited for harm without additional tools.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'List available display resolutions' — a query operation that retrieves display configuration information with no modification or side effects.

"tools": {
"monitor_list_resolutions": {}
}
