What list_categories does on Rendaextra

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

Why list_categories needs a policy

This tool retrieves and enumerates static category data from the rendaextra.pt service. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations—purely informational. The output serves as reference data for other tools (search_opportunities, get_category). Misuse by an AI agent would be benign (listing categories without acting on them causes no harm). Low blast radius and no destructive potential.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_categories' and description 'Lista as 95 categorias' (lists 95 categories) indicates a retrieval operation with no side effects. Returns category metadata (slug identifiers) for reference purposes.
