What search_build_output does on Unreal Editor

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

Why search_build_output needs a policy

This tool retrieves and filters build output data using regex patterns. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything; it only searches and returns information from a log or output artifact. The blast radius of misuse is minimal (potential information disclosure of build logs), making it low severity. High confidence due to clear read-only semantics in the description.

From the tool's definition Tool performs "Regex search across raw build output" — a pure query/search operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability. The description explicitly frames it as a search function over existing build data.
