What compare_symbols does on Booster MCP

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

Why compare_symbols needs a policy

The tool performs a semantic diff operation on code symbols across files. It retrieves and compares existing data without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. This is purely informational analysis, consistent with other Read category tools on the server like 'code_grep' and 'find_symbol'. The operation has no side effects on the codebase.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Сравнивает реализацию символа в двух файлах через diff' (Compares the implementation of a symbol in two files via diff). This is a comparison/analysis operation that retrieves and displays differences between code symbols.
