## Why get_daily_note_path is rated Low

This tool retrieves metadata (a file path) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation that returns information about the location of a note file. The low severity reflects that obtaining a file path poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it merely exposes location information without granting ability to read, write, or delete the file itself.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Get[s] the file path to today's (or specified) daily note' — a retrieval operation with no modification or execution of side effects."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
