What debug_assistant does on MCP Server

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

Why debug_assistant needs a policy

The tool appears to analyze code and an error message to provide debugging assistance. This is primarily a read/analysis operation — it reads code and error information and returns suggestions. It does not appear to modify files, execute code, or cause side effects.

From the tool's definition 'Auxilia na depuração de um arquivo de código a partir de uma mensagem de erro' (assists in debugging a code file from an error message)
