What list_groups does on Clink MCP Server

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

Why list_groups needs a policy

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List all Clink groups you belong to' and 'Returns group slugs, names, descriptions, and your role in each' — purely retrieval of existing data with no modifications or side effects.
