What get_status does on Loxone Miniserver MCP

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

Why get_status needs a policy

Even though get_status only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
