What list_subscriptions does on Sanka MCP Server
AI agents call list_subscriptions to retrieve information from Sanka MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why list_subscriptions is rated Low

While subscriptions may have financial implications, this tool itself only reads subscription information and does not create, modify, delete, or execute financial transactions.
