What analyze_graph does on ContextForge MCP Gateway

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

Why analyze_graph needs a policy

The tool performs analysis (querying/inspection) of existing graph structures and their metrics. Analysis and inspection operations are inherently read-only and produce no side effects. There is no indication of modification, deletion, execution of external code, or financial operations. The most similar operations would be graph traversal, pattern matching, or statistical computation on static data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'analyze_graph' and description 'Analyze a DOT graph structure and metrics' indicate retrieval and inspection of graph data with no modification, deletion, or side effects.
