What queries does on GraphQL Schema Explorer

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

Why queries needs a policy

This tool retrieves and lists information about available GraphQL queries without executing them or modifying data. It is a read-only introspection operation that helps users understand what queries exist in a GraphQL API. While the actual queries returned could theoretically be used to trigger data retrieval, the tool itself merely exposes the schema—it does not execute queries, create, modify, or delete data.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it lists 'All available GraphQL queries', which is introspection and discovery. Combined with sibling tools like 'search', 'schema', 'types', and 'field' that indicate schema exploration functionality.
