What network_status does on Parallelix

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

Why network_status needs a policy

This tool queries network state and returns information about available models without modifying any data, executing commands, or triggering side effects. It is a straightforward informational read operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List the models' which is a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' is explicitly a read operation.
