WHAT IT DOES

What read_note does on AirMCP

AI agents call read_note 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.

RISK

Why read_note is rated Low

This tool retrieves note data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval function that fits the 'Read' category. Severity is low because accessing note content via ID has minimal blast radius unless the notes contain highly sensitive personal information, but the tool itself performs only read operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'read_note' and description explicitly states 'Read the full content of a specific note by its ID. Returns HTML body and plaintext.' — a query operation with no side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs read_note safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AirMCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For read_note, this is the rule to start with:

read_note Allowed

read_note is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

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

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect AirMCP, apply this rule, and every read_note call is checked against it from then on.
