What poll_events does on Loopsense

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

Why poll_events needs a policy

This tool retrieves events that have occurred; it does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or move money. Even though it integrates with LoopSense's feedback monitoring system, the action is purely informational. Confidence is high because the verb 'Get' and the word 'fallback' explicitly indicate read-only retrieval.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get new events since a timestamp' — a query operation that retrieves data without modification. The context (CI results, deployments, test outcomes) and 'push notification fallback' indicate passive polling of already-generated events.
