Read file contents with security checks. Supports text, binary, and base64 encoding.
AI agents call file_organizer_read_file to retrieve information from File Organizer MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves file data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It has security checks in place and produces no side effects. The low severity reflects that reading files has minimal blast radius—the primary risk is information disclosure of sensitive file contents, which is mitigated by the tool's built-in security checks.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'file_organizer_read_file' and description states 'Read file contents with security checks.' The verb 'read' and explicit mention of reading contents with no modification capabilities indicate a retrieval operation.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and File Organizer MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for file_organizer_read_file:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"file_organizer_read_file": {}
}
