What get_momentum does on KeepGoing MCP Server

AI agents call get_momentum 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_momentum needs a policy

This tool queries persistent memory to surface development context. It has no side effects, makes no modifications, executes no code, and cannot delete or move resources. It is purely informational retrieval, making it a Read category risk with low severity—inappropriate use would only expose cached information about development state, not enable harmful actions.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves state information ('last checkpoint, next step, blockers, and branch context') without modifying or executing any operations.
