What rc_forge_task does on RC Engine

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

Why rc_forge_task needs a policy

The tool loads existing artifacts (PRD, architecture, task context) and generates implementation guidance. There is no indication it writes, executes, or modifies any data — it produces textual guidance for a human or agent to act upon. Confidence is moderate because the description is truncated and 'Forge' implies building/executing, but the described behavior is read-and-generate.

From the tool's definition 'Loads the PRD, architecture, and task context, then generates implementation guidance for the specified task_id' — the tool reads existing documents and produces guidance output
