What ai_summary does on Paid MCP Server Template

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

Why ai_summary needs a policy

This is a read-only operation that takes text as input and returns a processed summary. It does not create, modify, delete, execute commands, or initiate financial transactions. The [DEMO] label and context of a payment-gated server do not change the underlying function's classification. Severity is low because misuse would only produce incorrect summaries without harming systems or data.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Summarize text with AI' and 'Returns a concise summary with key points' — purely retrieves and processes input text to produce a summary output with no side effects, data modification, or external operations triggered.
