WHAT IT DOES

What garden_listCounterparties does on Genesis

AI agents call garden_listCounterparties to retrieve information from Genesis without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

`include_archived`	boolean	—

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why garden_listCounterparties is rated Low

Even though garden_listCounterparties only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
