What analyze_hnsw_recall does on Mcpg
AI agents call analyze_hnsw_recall to retrieve information from Mcpg without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why analyze_hnsw_recall is rated Low
The tool appears to query or compute metrics about HNSW index performance without altering state. Despite the empty description lowering confidence slightly, the naming pattern strongly suggests a read-only diagnostic operation consistent with other 'analyze_' tools on the same PostgreSQL MCP server. No evidence of data modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'analyze_hnsw_recall' indicates analysis/inspection of HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) index recall metrics.

analyze_hnsw_recall is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcpg, apply this rule, and every analyze_hnsw_recall call is checked against it from then on.
