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

Why get_context_snapshot needs a policy

This tool retrieves historical context and memory snapshots from the KeepGoing server without modifying, creating, deleting, executing code, or committing financial transactions. It is purely informational and enables AI assistants to re-orient themselves by reading previously captured development checkpoints. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only read its own or accessible project history.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_context_snapshot' and description 'Get a compact context snapshot' indicate retrieval of stored session/project context data.
