What ingest_excel does on Carrier Accounting MCP

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

Why ingest_excel needs a policy

Even though ingest_excel only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
