What get_site does on API-Central

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

Why get_site needs a policy

The tool performs a simple data retrieval operation (finding/searching for a site by name) with no side effects, creation, modification, deletion, or code execution. This is a classic Read operation consistent with the 'search, list, get, fetch' examples provided.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Find a site by name' and 'Returns None if not found' - this is a query/lookup operation with no modification or execution capability.
