What it actually reaches
Adds entries to the right-click menu. The extension decides which menu items appear and in what context, and receives what you selected when you click one.
Why an extension would ask for it
Search shortcuts, translation and save-to tools rely on it. It reaches nothing until you actively choose the menu item.
How to judge it
A permission on its own says little. What matters is whether it fits what the extension is for: a note-taking tool that reads every page you visit is worth a second look, while an ad blocker that does the same is doing its job. Read the permission next to the extension's stated purpose, and check the host list beside it.
