AI agents call list_run_records to retrieve information from Todos without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves existing run records from local storage with optional filtering capabilities. It performs a read-only operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The 'list' verb and 'filters' parameter confirm it is a data retrieval function, fitting the Read category with low severity since it cannot cause harm through misuse.
