What search_account_groups does on TreeBeam MCP Server

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

Why search_account_groups needs a policy

This tool retrieves account group data from TreeBeam's financial management platform without side effects. It supports filtering and pagination for querying existing records but does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. This is a classic Read operation with minimal blast radius—an AI misuse would result in unauthorized data access rather than data loss or financial harm.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "Search/list raw account group records" and "retrieve more" results via pagination. No creation, modification, deletion, or execution of commands is performed. The tool only queries and returns data.
