What health does on Poke HabitTracker MCP

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

Why health needs a policy

This tool queries and returns system health metrics and configuration status. The term 'secret-safe' explicitly indicates sensitive data is protected, and the action is purely informational—no creation, modification, deletion, or external execution occurs. This is a standard diagnostic read operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes already-known system state information.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'health' and description 'Return secret-safe server health and configuration status' indicates retrieval of diagnostic information with no side effects or data modification.
