What watch_parameter does on Sushi MCP Server

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

Why watch_parameter needs a policy

The tool watches/monitors a parameter for real-time updates, which is a read operation that observes state without side effects. While it adds to a watch list, the action is passive observation rather than modification of audio processing state, configuration, or data. No destructive, financial, or executable operations are involved. This is informational/monitoring in nature with minimal blast radius if misused.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'watch_parameter' and description states 'Add a parameter to the watch list for real-time updates.' This operation retrieves or monitors parameter values without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations.
