List available OS images.
AI agents call list_images to retrieve information from Verda Cloud MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation that queries available OS images for reference purposes. It has no side effects, does not execute code, create/modify/delete resources, or move money. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent can only enumerate available options, which is informational data already intended to be discoverable.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_images' and description 'List available OS images' indicate a query operation that retrieves information without modifying any resources.
