Why get_random needs a policy

However, confidence is moderate (0.7) because the description is empty, and 'get_random' is not explicitly listed among the named siblings, creating some ambiguity about its exact function. If it generates random numbers or selects random temporal data, it remains a Read category tool.

From the tool's definition The tool 'get_random' is hosted on a DateTime-LocalMCPServer that provides tools for retrieving temporal information.
