List recent invoices.
AI agents call list_invoices to retrieve information from Invoice Agent 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 invoice data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational. The low severity reflects minimal risk: disclosure of invoice metadata is a business concern but not a critical security threat in the context of AI agent misuse, and the operation is idempotent and side-effect-free.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_invoices' and description states 'List recent invoices' — a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion.
