What answer_stream does on KnowS MCP Server

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

Why answer_stream needs a policy

This tool reads medical evidence data and produces summaries or answers—a retrieval and analysis operation with no side effects on the underlying data. It does not create persistent records, execute code/commands, delete data, or move money. The streaming aspect is a delivery mechanism, not an action category change. This is a Read operation in the medical evidence retrieval context.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'generates scenario summaries based on questions and retrieved evidence' with 'streaming response'. The verb 'generates' here means synthesizing/summarizing existing data rather than modifying or deleting it.
