## Why get_work_item is rated Low

This tool retrieves information about a work item without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and presents minimal risk—the only concern would be unauthorized access to sensitive project data, but that is an access control issue rather than a property of the tool itself.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'get_work_item' and description states 'Get details of a specific work item.' The verb 'Get' and the absence of any modification, deletion, or execution language clearly indicate a retrieval operation."

## Use case

AI agents call get_work_item to retrieve information from Plane 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 Plane:

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