Lists all reports accessible to the current user
AI agents call list_reports to retrieve information from Smartsheet MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a list of reports without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is a straightforward read operation that retrieves information available to the authenticated user. The severity is low because listing reports has minimal blast radius even if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_reports' and description states it 'Lists all reports accessible to the current user' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
