What list_collections does on Ssakone Pocketbase

AI agents call list_collections to retrieve information from Ssakone Pocketbase without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_collections needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves metadata about collections with no side effects. It neither modifies, executes operations, deletes data, nor involves financial transactions. The information returned (collection names, types, timestamps) is structural metadata. Low severity because unauthorized collection enumeration has limited blast radius compared to data access or modification tools.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Get the list of all collections from PocketBase' and 'Returns collection names, types, and basic metadata'. The verb 'Get' and 'list' indicate retrieval without modification.
