## Why download_message_media is rated Low

The tool retrieves/fetches media files from messages without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. This is a standard read operation with minimal blast radius—the worst outcome is access to media the user may not be authorized to view, but no data is altered and no external operations are triggered.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'download_message_media' and description 'Download message media file' indicate retrieval of existing media content with no modification, deletion, or execution."

## Use case

AI agents call download_message_media to retrieve information from instantKOM MCP Server 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)
