## Why get_message is rated Low

This tool retrieves a single message from the instantKOM messenger platform by its ID. It performs a read-only query operation with no capability to modify, execute actions, delete data, or commit financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only access messages it retrieves, with no ability to alter system state.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_message' and description 'Get a specific message by ID' indicate retrieval of existing data with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_message 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)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches instantKOM MCP Server:

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