What mindmap_search does on Mindmap

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

Why mindmap_search needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries stored memories with no ability to create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The explicit 'Read-only' designation and lack of write/execute/destructive capabilities make this a straightforward Read category tool.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read-only — does not change freshness or tiers' and 'Search across all saved context'. Arguments are search filters (query, source/tag/tier, include_archived, limit) with no mutation capability.
