What grep_script does on GameDevBench MCP

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

Why grep_script needs a policy

The name 'grep_script' strongly implies a read-only search operation (grep is a standard text search tool). However, the description is empty, which lowers confidence. Based on the name alone and the context of sibling tools (find_in_file suggests similar read operations), this is most likely a Read operation that searches script files for patterns. No side effects are expected from a grep-like operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'grep_script' suggests a search/pattern-matching operation on scripts, similar to the grep command which reads and searches file contents without modifying them.
