The pagination parameter is for data presentation, not for altering state. This is consistent with other tools on the server like 'get_binary_info' and 'list_data', which are also Read-category tools.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_methods' and description 'List all function names in the program with pagination' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
