What list_examples does on SOLAPI MCP Server

AI agents call list_examples 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 list_examples needs a policy

This is a search/list operation that queries documentation examples and returns metadata without side effects. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The worst case of misuse would be information gathering, which poses minimal risk.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List[s] SOLAPI SDK examples' and 'Returns lightweight catalog entries' with no modification or deletion capabilities. The action is purely informational retrieval with optional filtering.
