What takeScreenshot does on Maige 3d

AI agents call takeScreenshot to retrieve information from Maige 3d without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why takeScreenshot needs a policy

takeScreenshot retrieves the current visual state of the 3D scene and returns it as image data without modifying, executing operations, or affecting underlying scene data. This is a passive observation operation with no side effects, fitting the Read category (retrieves data; no side effects).

From the tool's definition Tool captures and returns current viewport state as 'base-64 PNG data URL' with no modification or deletion capabilities. The verb 'capture' and return of image data indicates data retrieval only.
