What get_meta_info does on NHL MCP Server

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

Why get_meta_info needs a policy

This tool retrieves metadata about the NHL API itself—such as version information, endpoint documentation, or status—which is a non-destructive query operation. It has no capability to modify, execute operations, or affect data. The minimal blast radius (informational content only) and lack of any mutative capability place it firmly in the Read category with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_meta_info' and description 'Get NHL API meta information' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and context of querying API metadata (not live game data or player stats) confirm read-only access with no side effects.
