Get a list of documents along with total count.
AI agents call get_list_with_summary to retrieve information from ERPNext 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 queries documents with aggregation (count), producing no side effects. It fits the Read category pattern of data retrieval without reversible or irreversible modifications. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an agent misusing this would at worst retrieve sensitive data, but cannot alter or delete it.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_list_with_summary' and description 'Get a list of documents along with total count' indicate retrieval operations only. No modification, deletion, or execution of commands is described.
