What list_screenshots does on Qontinui MCP Server

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

Why list_screenshots needs a policy

This tool performs a directory listing operation to enumerate screenshot files. It is purely informational with no side effects — it retrieves data without altering state, creating, modifying, or deleting resources. The ability to read the returned file paths is a separate action not performed by this tool itself.

From the tool's definition 'List available screenshots in the .dev-logs/screenshots directory. Returns file paths that can be read with Claude' — the tool only retrieves and lists file paths; no modification, deletion, or execution occurs.
