What get_preferences does on Oceanir Memory

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

Why get_preferences needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves stored preference data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation that returns existing information. The low severity reflects minimal risk—an AI agent misusing this tool would only expose preferences already stored, without triggering destructive or financial consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_preferences' and description 'Get all stored user preferences' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
