Retrieve a list of all brands in the database.
AI agents call list_brands to retrieve information from WatchBase 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 structured data (brand listings) from a watch database without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk—the only concern would be information disclosure if the brand list were sensitive, but watch brands are inherently public knowledge. Severity is low due to no blast radius from misuse.
