What read_las does on Petropt/petro

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

Why read_las needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries well log data from a standard file format. It returns a summary of contents (header, curves, data summary) with no side effects, no data modification, and no code execution. This is a classic Read operation. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose petroleum engineering data without causing operational, financial, or system damage.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'read_las' and description 'Parse a LAS 2.0 well log file and return header, curves list, and data summary' indicate data retrieval only.
