## Why get_user_context is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries stored user information (facts, patterns, preferences) for context-aware suggestions. It performs no write, delete, execute, or financial operations. The data returned is used to inform coaching recommendations but does not modify state. The low severity reflects that misuse would expose personal productivity data rather than cause operational harm.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_user_context' and description 'Get relevant context about the user (facts, patterns, preferences)' indicate retrieval of stored user data with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_user_context 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)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Coach AI:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_user_context": {}
  }
}
```
