What read_llm_discovery does on Intodns

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

Why read_llm_discovery needs a policy

This tool performs read-only retrieval of static configuration and metadata files. There is no data creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial transaction. The explicit 'read-only' designation and 'no side effects' confirmation, combined with the GET-only nature and retrieval of discovery/documentation files, clearly places this in the Read category with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read-only fetch' and 'Pure HTTPS GET, no auth, no side effects.' It retrieves discovery files (llms.txt, llms-full.txt, llms.json, llm/api.md, openapi.json, postman.json) without modification or destructive operations.
