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

Why family_member needs a policy

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'look up' and 'returns' personal contact information (birthday, sizes, allergies, interests, notes) with no modification capability indicated. No mutations, deletions, or external operations are described.
