What magento_find_callers does on Magector

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

Why magento_find_callers needs a policy

This tool performs static code analysis to locate where PHP methods are called across a codebase. It retrieves and queries existing code without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The output is informational (call site locations and data flow tracing), making it a safe Read operation with low blast radius if misused by an AI agent—worst case is noisy or irrelevant search results.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it "Find[s] all call sites" and "Searches for... patterns" and "trace[s] data flow" — all query/search operations with no modification capability. The verb "find" and "search" indicate read-only semantic analysis.
