What visualize_cloud does on Cloudcompare

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

Why visualize_cloud needs a policy

This tool only reads and visualizes existing point cloud data by rendering it into images. It does not modify, delete, or execute any commands that change state. The output is a visual representation, making it a pure read/query operation.
