What check_health does on YanceLint MCP Server

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

Why check_health needs a policy

The check_health tool performs a health check and enumerates available linters. These are read-only query operations that retrieve status information without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only learn about server state, not cause harm.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'checks if YanceLint Server is running' and 'returns a list of available scanning tools' — purely informational operations with no side effects.
