Get metadata and summary information about a Numbers spreadsheet.
AI agents call numbers.info to retrieve information from Orchard without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries metadata and summary information from a Numbers spreadsheet file. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, delete anything, or perform financial transactions. It is a straightforward read operation consistent with the 'Read' category for tools that retrieve or query data without side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'numbers.info' and description states it 'Get metadata and summary information about a Numbers spreadsheet' — purely a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Orchard, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for numbers.info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"numbers.info": {}
}
}numbers.info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

numbers.info is provided by the Orchard MCP server (l22-io/orchard-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Orchard, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
