List documents of a specific type with pagination
AI agents call sanity_list_documents to retrieve information from Sanity MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and lists documents with pagination support, which is a read-only operation. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, delete content, or transfer funds. The pagination suggests it is designed for safe data retrieval at scale.
