What system_status does on ERP-File MCP Server

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

Why system_status needs a policy

The tool performs a diagnostic query to verify the state of a loaded data file. This is purely informational with no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive capability. It aligns with the Read category as a retrieval operation. Severity is low because misuse would only reveal status information with minimal blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate a status check operation: 'Check if the local data file was successfully loaded.' This is a read-only query that retrieves system state information without modifying, executing, or destroying anything.
