list_leads
AI agents call list_leads to retrieve information from Salesforce MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name 'list_leads' clearly denotes a query/retrieval operation that returns lead data without modifying it. While the description is empty, the semantic meaning of 'list' combined with the server's documented CRUD capabilities places this firmly in the Read category. The blast radius is low—an AI misuse would retrieve data only, with no destructive or financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_leads' indicates data retrieval operation. The server description mentions 'CRUD actions' and 'secure Salesforce Lead management,' and this tool performs the retrieval aspect. No side effects, creation, modification, or deletion indicated.
