AI agents call radarr_list_custom_formats to retrieve information from Homelab without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries configuration data from Radarr (custom formats and their scoring metadata). It performs a read-only operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any code or external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains visibility into media management settings but cannot alter system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list' and description 'List all custom formats' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects. No destructive, financial, or execution semantics are present.
