What fireflies_generate_summary does on Fireflies MCP Server

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

Why fireflies_generate_summary needs a policy

Generating a summary is a read/query operation that processes existing transcript content and returns derived text. It does not modify, delete, or create any persistent data. The sibling tools (get, search) also confirm this server is primarily a read-oriented API wrapper. Severity is low since the worst-case misuse is exposure of meeting content already accessible to the user.

From the tool's definition 'Generate a summary of a meeting transcript' — this reads/processes existing transcript data to produce a summary; no data is created, modified, or deleted
