What node_reachability does on Tenzro Ledger MCP

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

Why node_reachability needs a policy

This tool queries and returns information about a node's connectivity status. It is a read-only operation with no side effects—it neither modifies data, executes code, deletes anything, nor commits financial obligations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius: an AI agent misusing this tool could only retrieve connectivity metadata, which poses no security risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'node_reachability' and description 'Return this node's sustained connectivity tier' indicate a query operation that retrieves status information about network connectivity without modifying, executing, or affecting any state.
