What get_channels does on Mattermost MCP Server

AI agents call get_channels to retrieve information from Mattermost MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_channels needs a policy

This tool retrieves channel metadata from a specific team without modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius—listing channels is informational only. Low severity because unauthorized channel listing poses minimal direct harm in a communication platform.

From the tool's definition Tool description states '특정 팀의 채널 목록을 가져옵니다' (retrieves a list of channels for a specific team). The verb '가져옵니다' (get/fetch) indicates data retrieval with no modification. Server description confirms 'retrieval' and 'information retrieval' as core functions.
