- browse available samples for a product/edition/platform
AI agents call list_samples to retrieve information from Simple Dynamsoft without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a retrieval/browsing operation with no side effects. It queries available samples and returns information to the user, matching the 'Read' category pattern of listing/browsing data. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. Severity is low because misuse would only result in viewing information, with no operational or security impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_samples' and description 'browse available samples for a product/edition/platform' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves and displays a list of available samples without modifying any data.
