What get_orientation does on React Native

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

Why get_orientation needs a policy

This tool retrieves device state information (portrait/landscape orientation) without modifying, executing, or affecting any system state. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius if misused—an agent could only obtain orientation data, which poses no security or operational risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_orientation' and description 'Get current device orientation' indicate data retrieval with no side effects. The explicit statement 'No app connection required' confirms this is a passive query operation.
