WHAT IT DOES

What analyze_with_context does on Smart Code Search MCP Server

AI agents invoke analyze_with_context to trigger actions in Smart Code Search MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why analyze_with_context needs a policy

The tool explicitly 'runs' analysis, suggesting active execution of operations. While the primary output is likely informational (code analysis results), 'any analysis' is broad and could encompass operations beyond simple reads. The context management aspect also implies potential state changes.

From the tool's definition 'Run any analysis with automatic context management' — the word 'Run' implies executing an operation rather than merely reading data
