- In short
- The necessity-vs-convenience test asks, for each candidate tool, whether it is essential to completing the current task or merely convenient to have on hand. Nice-to-have tools that no current task requires are excluded by default, and every included tool carries a documented justification tied to a specific task requirement. Read-only status does not by itself justify inclusion, because read-only tools can still leak sensitive data.
