What list_buckets does on MinIO Storage MCP

AI agents call list_buckets to retrieve information from MinIO Storage MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_buckets needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves a list of existing buckets from MinIO storage. It performs no mutations, deletions, or external operations—purely informational retrieval. The minimal severity reflects that bucket names are typically not sensitive, though listing could reveal storage structure. This is a standard Read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_buckets' and description '列出所有存储桶' (lists all buckets) indicate a retrieval operation with no data modification or side effects.
