What get_ai_context does on Project Graph

Why get_ai_context needs a policy

This tool retrieves and returns contextual information (skeleton structure and documentation) to initialize AI agent context. It performs a read-only operation with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or destructive capabilities. The two modes both involve returning pre-existing information in different scopes. Classified as Read due to pure information retrieval nature.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_ai_context' and description 'returns skeleton + docs' indicate retrieval of documentation and code structure information without modification or execution capabilities.
