List properties (listings) on the connected Hostaway account. Returns a compact Markdown table with id, name, location, bedrooms/bathrooms, person capacity, and status.
AI agents call list_listings to retrieve information from Hostaway-mcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays data about property listings without modifying, deleting, or triggering external actions. It is a straightforward read operation that queries existing information from the Hostaway API. The data returned is informational only, making it low-risk even if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be unauthorized information disclosure, not system changes.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'List properties (listings)' and 'Returns a compact Markdown table with id, name, location, bedrooms/bathrooms, person capacity, and status.' This is a retrieval operation with no modification capability.
