What list_tokens does on Grocers Design

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

Why list_tokens needs a policy

This tool queries and returns design system tokens (colors, spacing, radii, shadows, type, motion) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read-only information retrieval tool. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent cannot cause harm by listing design tokens.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_tokens' and description 'Lists all design tokens' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
