This tool performs a read-only operation to enumerate roles in the Morpheus system. It has no side effects, does not execute code or workflows, does not modify data, and does not delete or move resources. The primary risk is information disclosure about role definitions, which is typically low severity in a properly configured access control environment.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_roles' and description 'List all roles in Morpheus' indicate a query operation that retrieves role information without modifying or executing changes to infrastructure.
