Which tools does the Nova MCP server expose?

The Nova MCP server exposes 52 tools: 39 read and 13 write. Four appear only when your accounts include a Vendor Central account, one only with a Seller Central account, and three only where Nova has turned Amazon writes on. Every write previews first and needs your confirmation (see Overview and security).
