## Why get_contact_task is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries task information for a contact without modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It is a read-only operation that falls squarely into the Read category with low severity since data retrieval poses minimal risk of harm if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_contact_task' and description 'Get a specific task for a contact' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_contact_task to retrieve information from Ghl 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 Ghl:

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