List Mealie admin backups.
AI agents call list_admin_backups to retrieve information from Mealie 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 enumerates existing backup records without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational and has minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—an attacker could enumerate backups but cannot restore, delete, or corrupt them with this tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_admin_backups' and description states 'List Mealie admin backups.' The verb 'list' indicates data retrieval with no modification or deletion of backups.
