What check_code does on MCP Pyrefly

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

Why check_code needs a policy

The tool performs static analysis and returns diagnostic information about code without modifying, deleting, executing, or moving resources. While the broader server context mentions 'gamification' and 'psychological manipulation,' those are motivational design patterns in the server—the tool itself is purely a read operation that checks code and reports results.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'check_code' with description stating it 'Check[s] Python code for errors and inconsistencies using Pyrefly.' This is a code analysis/querying operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of external systems.
