What jamovi_open does on jamovi MCP

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

Why jamovi_open needs a policy

The primary action is reading/loading a file, making this a Read category tool. Severity is low as misuse would only load an unintended dataset into the local session.
