## Why tiktok_ads_get_adgroups is rated Low

This tool queries and returns ad group information associated with a campaign. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The low severity reflects minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes campaign metadata already accessible to an authenticated user.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Retrieve ad groups for a campaign' - both indicate a data retrieval operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

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