What get_terms does on Hedera Toolbox

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

Why get_terms needs a policy

This tool queries and returns static or semi-static Terms of Service documentation. It performs no modifications, executions, deletions, or financial transactions. While the broader Hedera Toolbox server involves paid operations (metered HBAR micropayments), this specific tool merely retrieves and displays terms—a pure Read operation with minimal blast radius even if misused by an agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_terms' and description 'Retrieve the machine-readable Terms of Service' explicitly indicate data retrieval with no side effects. The verb 'Retrieve' and the object 'Terms of Service' are characteristic of Read operations.
