List built-in sounds and samples in Strudel.
AI agents call strudel_list_sounds to retrieve information from Strudel MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates existing sound resources without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is purely informational, similar to other listing tools on the server (strudel_list_functions, strudel_list_scales, strudel_list_chords). The blast radius if misused is negligible—an AI agent cannot cause harm by listing available sounds.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'strudel_list_sounds' and description 'List built-in sounds and samples in Strudel' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.
