What get_commands does on Minecraft Server MCP

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

Why get_commands needs a policy

The tool merely enumerates registered commands on the server. It has no side effects, does not execute commands, and only returns informational data. This is a straightforward Read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition 'Get list of all registered server commands' — this is a query operation that retrieves information about available commands without modifying state or executing actions.
