## Why retrieveActionWithId is rated Low

This tool queries and returns existing action log data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and poses minimal security risk unless the action logs contain highly sensitive information, but the default classification remains Read/low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'retrieve' and description states it 'Retrieves a single action log'. The verb 'retrieves' and the operation of fetching historical action logs are characteristic of read-only data retrieval with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call retrieveActionWithId to retrieve information from Fusionauth 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 Fusionauth:

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