List all available Confluence spaces
AI agents call confluence_list_spaces to retrieve information from Atlassian 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 Confluence spaces without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a straightforward read operation. The server's explicit read-only design and the listing nature of the operation confirm the Read category.
