Get the contents of a Smartsheet folder: sheets, reports, sub-folders, and dashboards. Args: - folder_id (number): Smartsheet folder ID - load_all (boolean, optional): Include nested sub-folder contents Returns: Folder contents with IDs for all child resources.
AI agents call smartsheet_browse_folder to retrieve information from Smartsheet MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries folder metadata and structure within Smartsheet. It performs no modifications, deletions, or executions. The optional 'load_all' parameter only controls scope of the read operation, not any state changes. Misuse by an AI agent would be limited to unauthorized information disclosure, which poses minimal risk compared to write or destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get the contents of a Smartsheet folder' and returns 'Folder contents with IDs'. The verb 'Get' and the return-only nature (no create, modify, or delete operations) indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
