List available measurement template presets
AI agents call vna_list_templates to retrieve information from Copper Mountain Vna 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 information about available templates without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation with minimal security risk. Misuse would only expose the names of available templates, which is not sensitive in the context of lab equipment control.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'vna_list_templates' and description states it 'List available measurement template presets' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
