What search_documents does on Mnemosyne MCP

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

Why search_documents needs a policy

The tool name 'search_documents' explicitly denotes a retrieval operation. Although the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the name and context of the Mnemosyne system—which supports querying and managing knowledge graphs—indicate this performs document search/lookup. This is a Read operation: it retrieves data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_documents' indicates querying/retrieval of documents with no modification capability. Server description confirms it enables 'query' operations on knowledge graphs. Name strongly suggests data retrieval without side effects.
