What query-collection does on Tally Prime MCP Server

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

Why query-collection needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only query operation against an ERP database collection. It retrieves financial data (ledger balances, reports, stock summaries based on sibling tools) and caches results for analysis, but does not create, modify, delete, or execute arbitrary operations. The actual SQL execution against cached data is delegated to a separate 'query-database' tool.

From the tool's definition Tool 'queries a Tally Prime collection with selected fields' and 'result is cached... and returned as tableID'.
