What get_template does on Docrenders

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

Why get_template needs a policy

This tool retrieves template schema metadata (field types, descriptions, examples) for informational purposes only. It has no side effects, cannot modify or delete data, and poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent. The worst-case scenario is retrieving schema information that is not sensitive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] the full field schema for a specific DocRenders template' — a retrieval operation with no data creation, modification, or deletion.
