Get fields of a specific database.
AI agents call appflowy_get_database_fields to retrieve information from AppFlowy Cloud MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about database fields without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a pure read operation analogous to a SELECT query on schema information. The severity is low because it only exposes structural information about a database, which carries minimal risk of misuse in isolation.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get fields of a specific database' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
