What az_network does on RedisNexus

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

Why az_network needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries Azure networking infrastructure metadata. It performs read-only operations to enumerate virtual networks, network security groups, public IP addresses, and load balancers. There are no side effects, no data modification, no code execution, and no destructive operations. This is a standard inventory/discovery tool appropriate for monitoring and auditing purposes.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate listing/querying: 'List Azure networking resources — VNets, NSGs, public IPs, load balancers.' The verb 'List' and the passive enumeration of resource types confirms retrieval of data with no modification or execution.
