## Why gmail_users_settings_filters_get is rated Low

This tool retrieves metadata about a single email filter configuration without altering data, executing code, or affecting other systems. The operation is purely read-only and has minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes filter settings that may already be accessible through normal Gmail UI.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get a message filter by ID' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call gmail_users_settings_filters_get to retrieve information from Google Workspace Gmail (gws CLI) 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)
