What data_profile does on ThinAir Data

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

Why data_profile needs a policy

This is fundamentally a Read operation—it queries table metadata and performs analysis to produce a report. However, severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because PII detection reveals sensitive personal information (SSN, phone, email) that could be exposed if an agent misuses this tool. The tool itself doesn't modify data, but the sensitive nature of the information it surfaces justifies elevated risk.

From the tool's definition Tool generates reports with column statistics, health scores, PII detection (email/phone/SSN), and insights without modifying data. Description says 'FULL data quality + compliance report' indicating data retrieval and analysis.
