What fetch does on iCloud CalDAV MCP Connector

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

Why fetch needs a policy

This tool performs a retrieval operation only—it fetches calendar data in ICS format without creating, modifying, or deleting any information. It is a read-only query operation with no side effects. While the server overall includes destructive tools (delete_event) and write operations (create_event, update_event), this specific tool is limited to data retrieval, placing it in the Read category with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'fetch' and description states it retrieves 'raw ICS' data returned by prior search results. No modification, deletion, or execution of external operations occurs.
