What read_contact does on AirMCP

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

Why read_contact is rated Low

This tool retrieves contact information without creating, modifying, or deleting data. It is a simple read operation with no side effects. Severity is low because while contact data may be sensitive, reading it does not alter system state or enable direct harm; the impact depends on what the AI agent does with the retrieved information afterward, not on the tool itself.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'read_contact' and description 'Read full details of a contact by ID including all emails, phones, and addresses' explicitly indicate data retrieval with no modification or deletion.

The rule that runs read_contact safely

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "read_contact": {}
  }
}
