text string Yes The text to trim

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why trim needs a policy

This is a deterministic string utility function that takes input text and returns a transformed version with whitespace removed. It neither reads from external sources, modifies stored data, executes code, deletes anything, nor moves money. It is a simple, reversible text processing function with minimal security risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'trim' and description 'Trim whitespace from text' indicate a pure string transformation operation with no side effects, no data persistence, no external calls.
