# get_idea

Read one idea whole: title, body, vector and source, its state HISTORY (every move with its reason), the scopes that realize it (with the git folder when the importer knows it), the cards it reaches with their columns, related ideas, the decisions that shaped it, the goals it serves, and the discussion count.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_idea",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why get_idea is rated Low

Even though get_idea only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents call get_idea to retrieve information from Adrata 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 Adrata:

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