What get_definition does on WordNet MCP Server

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

Why get_definition needs a policy

This is a pure read operation that queries WordNet to retrieve dictionary definitions. It retrieves data without modifying, deleting, or executing any code. There are no financial implications or destructive actions possible. Misuse by an AI agent would only result in retrieving potentially sensitive vocabulary or excessive queries, which poses minimal security risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_definition' and description 'Retrieve all definitions for a given word' indicate retrieval of reference data with no side effects.
