What get-document does on Ravendb

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

Why get-document needs a policy

This tool retrieves an existing document from the RavenDB database by its unique identifier. Retrieval operations are non-destructive and do not modify, create, or delete data. The action is deterministic and safe, with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—at worst, it could expose sensitive data already in the database, but cannot alter or remove it.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-document' and description 'Retrieve a document by ID' indicate a read-only operation with no data modification or side effects.
