What find_similar_products does on Skincare MCP

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

Why find_similar_products needs a policy

This tool performs a similarity search/query over product data using Jaccard similarity — a read-only mathematical comparison. It retrieves and ranks existing products based on ingredient overlap without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. Blast radius is minimal as misuse would only surface irrelevant product recommendations.
