What check_access does on Sphere MCP Gaming Server

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

Why check_access needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only lookup of access and subscription status for a given user ID. It has no side effects: it does not create, modify, or delete passes; does not process payments; and does not execute arbitrary code. While it is part of a payment-gated gaming system, the tool itself only queries state.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Check[s] access status and day pass validity' — a query operation that retrieves the state of an existing access credential without modifying, deleting, or moving money.
