What list_gpu_shapes does on Cloud Cost MCP

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

Why list_gpu_shapes needs a policy

The tool performs a read-only operation to retrieve and display pricing information for GPU shapes from OCI. It allows filtering and comparison but does not execute code, modify infrastructure, delete data, or commit financial obligations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could retrieve information but cannot directly provision resources, delete anything, or incur charges without additional tools.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List OCI GPU shapes with pricing' and 'Filter by GPU model... or use case'. These are query/retrieval operations with no modification or execution capabilities.
