List all AI tool categories in the catalog with counts.
AI agents call list_ai_tool_categories to retrieve information from Thedailyworkflow without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays categorical information from a directory with no side effects. It queries existing data to show available categories and their counts. There are no write, delete, execute, or financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve catalog structure information.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List all AI tool categories...with counts' indicating retrieval of catalog metadata without modification or execution.
