AI agents call monday_list_groups to retrieve information from autoMate without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a query operation that retrieves existing data (board groups/sections) from Monday.com with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only enumerate board structure, which is read-only access.
