What find_similar does on TDZ C64 Knowledge

AI agents call find_similar to retrieve information from TDZ C64 Knowledge without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why find_similar needs a policy

This is a pure retrieval operation with no side effects. It queries existing document embeddings to surface semantically similar content, analogous to a search or filter operation. There is no data modification, deletion, execution of code, or financial impact. The low severity reflects minimal risk from accidental misuse—returning irrelevant search results causes no damage.

From the tool's definition Tool performs semantic search and similarity matching using embeddings and TF-IDF to 'find' and 'discover' documents.
