What get-vite-config does on Vite Plugin

AI agents call get-vite-config to retrieve information from Vite Plugin without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get-vite-config needs a policy

This tool only retrieves and queries existing Vite configuration metadata. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not trigger external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an AI could only learn about the app's build configuration, not alter it or cause damage.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get-vite-config' and description states it 'Get[s] the Vite config digest' — a retrieval operation with no modification or execution. Returns static configuration information (root, resolve, plugins, environment names).
