List recent RefMD documents. Optional filters: query, tag, state (active|archived|all).
AI agents call refmd-list-documents to retrieve information from RefMD MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a list of documents without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation that retrieves metadata about documents. The optional filters (query, tag, state) are for refining the query results, not for creating side effects. Given the read-only nature and that document listings pose minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, the severity is low.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-documents' and description 'List recent RefMD documents' with optional filters indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
