What read-query does on SQLite Cloud MCP Server

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

Why read-query needs a policy

This tool is designed for data retrieval only. SELECT queries are the standard SQL mechanism for querying without side effects. The naming convention 'read-query' further confirms the intent is restricted to read operations. No data modification, deletion, or external execution occurs.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'read-query' combined with description 'Execute a SELECT query on the SQLite database' explicitly indicates read-only operations. SELECT queries retrieve data without modification, creation, or deletion.
