WHAT IT DOES

What read_event does on Iconnect

AI agents call read_event to retrieve information from Iconnect 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_event is rated Low

This tool retrieves calendar event data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a query operation with no side effects. The read-only designation confirms no data is altered. Severity is low as calendar metadata poses minimal risk if exposed.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'read_event' and description explicitly states it 'Read[s] full details of a calendar event' with read-only access to attendees, location, description, and recurrence info.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs read_event safely

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

read_event Allowed

read_event 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_event": {}
  }
}

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

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