What add_numbers does on MCPServer (FastMCP)

AI agents call add_numbers to retrieve information from MCPServer (FastMCP) without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why add_numbers needs a policy

This tool performs a simple mathematical addition of two numbers. It is a pure function with no side effects, no data read from external sources, no writes, and no execution of commands. It falls closest to 'Read' as a data-processing/query operation, though it is essentially stateless computation. Misuse potential is negligible.

From the tool's definition 'Add two numbers together' — pure arithmetic computation with no side effects, no data modification, no external operations
