What procore_discover_categories does on Procore MCP Server

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

Why procore_discover_categories needs a policy

This tool queries and returns metadata about available API categories, modules, and endpoint counts from Procore. It performs no mutations, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. The blast radius if misused is minimal — an AI agent could only retrieve informational structure about the API itself, not access or modify actual project data, financial records, or execute operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'List[s] every Procore API category' — a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'discover' and 'list' are characteristic of Read operations.
