Explain practical pagination for Query Builder APIs, including p.limit/p.offset loops and p.guessTotal usage.
AI agents call aem_explain_pagination to retrieve information from Adobe Experience Assets Dev MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool is designed to help developers understand how to structure pagination queries, not to execute those queries or perform mutations. It belongs in the Read category as a low-severity informational/documentation tool. Even if misused by an AI agent, the blast radius is negligible—it cannot modify, delete, or execute anything; it merely explains concepts.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'aem_explain_pagination' and description 'Explain practical pagination for Query Builder APIs, including p.limit/p.offset loops and p.guessTotal usage' indicate the tool provides educational/explanatory content about pagination mechanics.
