List all job lists/collections.
AI agents call list_job_lists to retrieve information from CATS 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 job lists/collections without modifying, deleting, executing code, or performing financial operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—at worst, it exposes job list metadata that is typically already accessible to authorized users within an ATS.
