What searchPatients does on MCP Oracle Server

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

Why searchPatients needs a policy

searchPatients is a deterministic read-only query tool constrained to use pre-validated semantic mappings. It retrieves patient data without side effects (no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary operations). The restriction to semantic mappings and validated field mappings further limits risk.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'patient search' using 'semantic mappings' and 'validated friendly field mappings' with explicit requirement that PATIENT_MASTER table has semantic mapping.
