What get_namespace does on OCI MCP Server

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

Why get_namespace needs a policy

The 'get_' prefix combined with sibling tools that retrieve data suggests this retrieves OCI namespace information without modification. Despite lack of explicit description, the naming pattern and context strongly indicate a read-only query operation. Low severity due to namespace data being non-sensitive configuration metadata.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'get_namespace' with no description provided. Naming convention 'get_' is consistent with sibling Read tools (get_alarm, get_autonomous_database, get_boot_volume, get_bucket, get_budget, get_cost_*).
