What inspect_settings does on Mcp Revelor

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

Why inspect_settings needs a policy

This tool only retrieves and returns existing configuration data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as it merely exposes read access to dashboard settings.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'read-only inspection' and 'Returns current dashboard config'. The tool name 'inspect_settings' and the verb 'inspect' also indicate passive data retrieval without modification.
