What getTerminalTypes does on Current operating environment

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

Why getTerminalTypes needs a policy

This tool retrieves static configuration information about terminal types available on the system. It performs a simple read-only query with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only learn what terminal emulator types are available, which is low-severity environmental reconnaissance.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'getTerminalTypes' and description translates to 'Get all terminal types supported on the system.' This is a getter/retrieval operation with no mutation or execution capability.
