What az_resources does on RedisNexus

AI agents call az_resources 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_resources needs a policy

This tool only retrieves and queries information about Azure infrastructure; it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The verbs 'list' and 'inspect' indicate read-only operations with no side effects. While access to resource information could inform further attacks, the tool itself performs no destructive or executing actions.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List and inspect Azure resources and resource groups' - both list and inspect are query/retrieval operations with no modification capability.
