What add does on MCP Multi-Tool Server

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

Why add needs a policy

This tool performs a simple mathematical addition operation. It only computes and returns a result without reading from or writing to any data store, executing commands, or triggering external systems. It is a stateless calculation, closest to 'Read' as it produces output from input with no side effects.

From the tool's definition 'Add two numbers together' — pure arithmetic computation with no side effects, data modification, or external operations.
