What history_search does on RespCode MCP Server

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

Why history_search needs a policy

The tool searches and retrieves existing prompt history data. Searching is a read-only operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any code. While it accesses user history (which could contain sensitive information in principle), the tool itself poses minimal risk as it merely retrieves data without persistence-altering effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'history_search' and description 'Search your prompt history by keyword' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. This is a query/search function that accesses historical data without modification.
