What list_terminals does on Nomba MCP Server

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

Why list_terminals needs a policy

This tool retrieves a list of POS terminals from the Nomba platform. The verb 'list' and lack of any action-oriented language (create, update, delete, execute) confirm this is a read-only operation. It has minimal blast radius—an AI agent calling this would only retrieve metadata about terminals, not execute transactions or modify system state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_terminals' and description 'List POS terminals' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or execution.
