What get-permission-resources does on Mcp Mailtrap

AI agents call get-permission-resources to retrieve information from Mcp Mailtrap without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get-permission-resources needs a policy

This is a read-only query of permission/resource metadata. While it reveals which resources an API token can access (useful for reconnaissance in a compromised token scenario), the tool itself only retrieves information and performs no write, delete, or execution operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get all resources' and 'has admin access' — it retrieves and queries permission metadata without modifying or executing operations. No side effects are described.
