What get_product does on Nordstrom MCP Server

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

Why get_product needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only query of product information from Nordstrom's catalog. It retrieves data (description, features, sizes, images, pricing) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The only risk is potential information disclosure of product details, which is minimal and low-severity in a retail context where such information is intended to be public.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Get[s] full product details including description, features, available sizes, images, and pricing' — purely retrieval operations with no modification, deletion, or execution of external commands.
