What agent_read does on Frx Director

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

Why agent_read needs a policy

This is a pure data retrieval operation. The tool queries the state and results of a worker agent's progress, including persistent knowledge files and logs. It has no side effects—no code execution, no data modification, and no external operations triggered. The worst outcome of misuse would be the director seeing stale or incorrect status information, which is a low-severity information disclosure risk.

From the tool's definition The tool name is 'agent_read' and the description indicates it 'reads' (读) worker's phase conclusions, stage results, work directory files (progress.md/ledger.md), and log tails.
