What chunk_text does on ContextForge MCP Gateway

AI agents call chunk_text 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 chunk_text needs a policy

The tool performs text segmentation—a read-like operation that analyzes and transforms text input into chunks according to specified strategies. There is no indication it creates/modifies persistent data (Write), executes arbitrary code (Execute), deletes data (Destructive), or moves money (Financial). It is a pure computation/analysis utility with no side effects, making it firmly a Read-category risk.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Chunk text using various strategies' — this is a text processing/analysis operation that segments input text without modifying the original data or triggering external side effects.
