What get_component does on Musea

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

Why get_component needs a policy

This tool performs a data retrieval operation on a design system's component information. It returns existing data (metadata, variants, analysis, documentation) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a simple read query with no blast radius if invoked by an AI agent—the worst outcome is fetching unwanted component documentation.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_component' with verb 'Get' and description states it retrieves 'full details' including 'metadata, variants, source-component analysis, palette data, documentation, and related resource URIs'.
