What list_products does on RunContext

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

Why list_products needs a policy

This tool retrieves metadata about available data products without querying underlying data, executing code, or modifying any state. It is a safe informational query that helps AI agents understand available resources. The semantic layer nature of the RunContext server further confirms this is a metadata browsing tool rather than direct data access or execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_products' and description 'List all data products in the semantic plane with their models' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no modification or execution of code.
