What fetch does on Claude Code MCP Controller

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

Why fetch needs a policy

This tool retrieves data from session logs and status information without altering, executing, or deleting anything. It is categorized as Read. Severity is medium rather than low because session logs and status may contain sensitive information about code execution, user inputs, or system state that could be misused if accessed by a malicious agent, though the tool itself performs no destructive actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'fetch' and description 'Fetch content from Claude-Code session logs or status' indicate retrieval of existing data with no modification or deletion. The verbs 'fetch' and 'content from' clearly denote a read operation.
