What list_contexts does on NeuronSearchLab

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

Why list_contexts needs a policy

This tool retrieves or queries existing recommendation contexts without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation that lists configuration data accessible to the user's team. The severity is low as it poses minimal risk—disclosure of existing context names and configurations is less critical than data manipulation or execution capabilities.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_contexts' and description 'List all recommendation contexts (feeds) configured for your team' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
