What get_stats does on LODA API MCP Server

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

Why get_stats needs a policy

The tool retrieves aggregate statistics from the OEIS/LODA database without any side effects, data modification, code execution, or resource consumption beyond a simple query. This is a pure read operation with minimal blast radius—misuse would only retrieve non-sensitive aggregated counts.

From the tool's definition Tool returns stats and counts ('number of sequences, programs, and formulas') from the LODA database with no modification capability.
