What rebuild_index does on Weather Forecast MCP Server

AI agents invoke rebuild_index to trigger actions in Weather Forecast MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Why rebuild_index needs a policy

This tool executes an external operation (fetching from GitHub) and overwrites the existing RAG index with new data. It is more than a simple read (it modifies internal state) and more than a write (it triggers an external network operation and rebuilds a potentially large index). The Execute category best fits because it runs an external fetch and index-rebuild pipeline.

From the tool's definition 'Rebuild the RAG index by fetching fresh documentation from GitHub' — triggers an external network fetch operation and rewrites/rebuilds the index
