Get all advanced spending rulesets for the business
AI agents call pex_list_advanced_spending_rulesets to retrieve information from PEX MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and 'get'; description states 'Get all advanced spending rulesets' with no mention of modifications, deletions, or financial transactions. This is a retrieval operation.
