AI agents call monday_list_items 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 tool retrieves and queries data from a Monday.com board without side effects. It performs a read-only operation to enumerate items/rows, consistent with the Read category definition. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an AI agent misusing this tool could only access existing data visibility, not modify, delete, or cause financial harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'list' and description explicitly states 'List items (rows)' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"monday_list_items": {}
}
