Lists snapshots for a specific ONTAP volume.
AI agents call ontap_snapshot_list to retrieve information from Google Cloud NetApp Volumes MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns snapshot metadata without altering, creating, or destroying any resources. It is a read-only operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'Lists snapshots for a specific ONTAP volume' — a straightforward retrieval operation with no modification or deletion capability.
