What query_data does on LightRAG MCP Server

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

Why query_data needs a policy

This tool performs data retrieval operations on knowledge graph components and document chunks. It has no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations—it only returns existing data. The 'without LLM generation' clarification confirms it is a simple data access operation rather than a generative or transformative action.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it retrieves raw data (entities, relations, chunks) 'without LLM generation'. The verb 'Get' and framing as retrieval with no side effects indicates read-only querying behavior.
