What notes does on PyApple MCP Tools
AI agents call notes to retrieve information from PyApple MCP Tools without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why notes is rated Low

The lack of descriptive detail reduces confidence slightly, but the Read category is most probable as it aligns with other similar tools on this server (calendar, contacts) which are primarily data retrieval operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs notes safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and PyApple MCP Tools, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For notes, this is the rule to start with:
notes is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect PyApple MCP Tools, apply this rule, and every notes call is checked against it from then on.
