AI agents call list_game_formats to retrieve information from OpenGolfAPI 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 scoring format definitions—a pure read operation with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since it only exposes informational data about available game formats. No financial, destructive, or code execution implications exist.
