List NewRelic dashboards with optional account filtering. Returns dashboard names and GUIDs. Use pagination cursor for large result sets. Useful for discovering available dashboards before fetching full details.
AI agents call list_dashboards to retrieve information from NewRelic MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries existing dashboard information without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation that discovers available resources. Severity is low because exposing dashboard metadata has minimal blast radius—an agent can only learn about existing dashboards, not modify monitoring infrastructure or access sensitive operational data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List NewRelic dashboards' and 'Returns dashboard names and GUIDs'. The verb 'list' and the return of read-only metadata (names and GUIDs) with pagination support indicate data retrieval with no side effects.
