What get_mcp_policy does on SOLAPI MCP Server

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

Why get_mcp_policy needs a policy

This tool reads and displays safety policy configuration. It has no side effects, does not send messages, execute operations, or modify state. It is informational only, serving to let users inspect current safety guardrails. Low severity because exposure of policy details poses minimal risk—an agent could learn constraints but cannot bypass them to cause harm.

From the tool's definition 'Show the current send-safety policy' and 'get_' prefix indicates retrieval of configuration data without modification or execution. The tool queries policy settings (enabled status, caps, whitelists) but does not change them.
