What info does on Redis MCP Server

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

Why info needs a policy

This tool retrieves operational metadata and statistics about the Redis server itself—a read-only operation with no capability to modify data, execute commands, or cause side effects. The query carries minimal risk as it only exposes server state information.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'info' and description 'Get Redis server information and statistics' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
