What get_group does on MCP Bookmarks

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

Why get_group needs a policy

The tool queries and retrieves existing bookmark group information without side effects. It performs a data retrieval operation analogous to 'get' or 'fetch', which is characteristic of Read category tools. The returned data structures (flat list, tree structure) are informational only.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves bookmark group data and returns "both flat list and tree structure" with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.
