AI agents call list_recently_opened_documents to retrieve information from Filevine 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 that the current user has recently accessed. It performs a read-only operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute actions. The scope is limited to the user's own recent activity, minimizing blast radius. Classification as Read is appropriate.
