What GetServerInfo does on Awslabs Valkey

AI agents call GetServerInfo to retrieve information from Awslabs Valkey without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why GetServerInfo needs a policy

GetServerInfo appears to fetch or query server metadata and configuration details. This is a read-only operation with no side effects—it retrieves existing information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius; exposing server info to an AI agent poses information disclosure risk but not operational or financial harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetServerInfo' indicates retrieval of server information/metadata. No description provided, but naming convention suggests a query operation that retrieves data about a Valkey/MemoryDB server without modification.
