AI agents call list_conversation_exports to retrieve information from Memory without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and enumerates existing conversation export files without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward directory listing operation that retrieves metadata about stored conversations.
