What gcp_network does on RedisNexus

AI agents call gcp_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 gcp_network needs a policy

The description lists networking resources (VPCs, firewall rules, addresses, forwarding rules) without indicating any write or modification capability. The tool appears to query/retrieve GCP networking configuration. However, the description is sparse and doesn't explicitly confirm read-only access, so confidence is moderate.

From the tool's definition GCP Networking — VPCs, firewall rules, addresses, forwarding rules.
