What get-command-results does on Defcon

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

Why get-command-results needs a policy

This tool performs a read operation that queries historical command results. While it operates within a game environment with other destructive capabilities (launch-nuke, move-fleet, place-structure), get-command-results itself has no side effects—it only retrieves data. The blast radius is minimal since an AI agent misusing this tool cannot cause game state changes, only access information about past actions.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves results of previously executed commands by their correlation IDs using a query-based interface ("Retrieves the results"). No data creation, modification, or deletion occurs; it purely fetches information about command outcomes.
