List AAP inventories.
AI agents call aap_list_inventories to retrieve information from AAP 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 query operation to retrieve and display inventory data from Ansible Automation Platform. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, execute commands, or affect system state. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only gain visibility into existing inventories, which is a reconnaissance concern but not an immediate operational threat.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'aap_list_inventories' and description 'List AAP inventories' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or execution capabilities.
