List all tags in Help Scout
AI agents call inbox_list_tags to retrieve information from MCP Help Scout without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays existing tags from the Help Scout inbox system. It performs a simple data lookup operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The minimal blast radius (reading tag metadata) and lack of state-changing effects clearly place it in the Read category with low severity.
