List all TODO items. Returns a formatted list of all tasks with their ids, texts, and completion status.
AI agents call listTodos to retrieve information from Remote MCP with Azure Container Apps 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 existing todo data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk—the only potential concern is unauthorized access to task information, but the tool itself performs no destructive or risky actions.
