Lists documents in a matter or folder.
AI agents call clio_list_documents to retrieve information from Clio Manage MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns document metadata/list without altering any data, triggering external operations, or causing side effects. It is a straightforward read operation. Severity is low because listing documents carries minimal blast radius if misused by an agent — the worst case is unwanted visibility into documents the agent is already authorized to access through OAuth.
From the tool's definition 'Lists documents in a matter or folder' — a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution.
