List AAP teams.
AI agents call aap_list_teams 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 to list existing teams in Ansible Automation Platform. It retrieves information without side effects, state changes, or external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could discover team names and structures but cannot create, modify, delete, or execute anything. This is a standard Read category tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'aap_list_teams' and description 'List AAP teams' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
