What list_user_orgs does on Forgejo
AI agents call list_user_orgs to retrieve information from Forgejo without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why list_user_orgs is rated Low
This tool queries and returns organizational membership information about a user. It is purely informational—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. It has no blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as the worst outcome is exposure of organizational metadata that may already be semi-public in most repository systems.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_user_orgs' and description 'List organizations a user belongs to' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
