list_documents
AI agents call list_documents to retrieve information from FastMCP Document Analyzer without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The 'list_documents' tool retrieves or queries document metadata/inventory with no side effects. This is a read-only operation with minimal risk—typical blast radius would be information disclosure of document titles/metadata at worst, with no modification or deletion capability. Confidence slightly reduced from 1.0 due to empty description, but context from sibling tools strongly supports this classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_documents' indicates a retrieval operation consistent with the server's document management capabilities (search, organization). No destructive, write, or execute keywords present.
