What oracle_list does on Oracle MCP

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

Why oracle_list needs a policy

The oracle_list tool performs a retrieval operation to enumerate documents in a knowledge base. It has no side effects: it neither modifies, deletes, nor executes any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent might discover knowledge it shouldn't access, but cannot alter or destroy it. This is a straightforward Read category risk.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List all documents' and 'Browse without searching' — retrieval operations with no data modification, deletion, or execution. Pagination and filtering are read-only parameters.
