# get_visualization

Fetch a chart artifact generated by a council session or LOCUS determination. Returns the machine-readable spec (the data behind the chart) plus the stable SVG URL, or the raw SVG itself with include_svg=true. Artifact ids appear in session results as 'visualizations' / 'visualization' reference blocks. Requires authentication and enforces the artifact owner's tenant boundary.

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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_visualization",
    "arguments": {
      "artifact_id": "<artifact_id>"
    }
  }
}

## Why get_visualization is rated Low

This tool retrieves pre-generated visualization artifacts and their underlying data. It performs a query operation that has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The presence of authentication and tenant boundaries is standard security practice for read operations and does not elevate the category. No financial, destructive, or code-execution capability is present.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool description explicitly states it 'Fetch[es] a chart artifact' and 'Returns the machine-readable spec (the data behind the chart) plus the stable SVG URL'."

## Use case

AI agents call get_visualization to retrieve information from Meta Council 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 Meta Council:

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