What osm_search_poi does on MCP-Dubai

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

Why osm_search_poi needs a policy

OSM POI searches retrieve geographic and location data without modification or side effects. This is a classic Read operation—it queries and returns public geographic data. The low confidence reflects the empty description; if the tool actually permits writes to OpenStreetMap or executes external operations, the category should be reconsidered, but the name and context strongly suggest data retrieval only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'osm_search_poi' suggests Open Street Map point-of-interest search functionality. Context indicates the server provides public data access (prayer times, exchange rates, school ratings, air quality, business setup information).
