Get vote data for reef content.
AI agents call get_reef_votes to retrieve information from Basis MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries or retrieves existing vote data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any state-changing operations. The action is read-only with no side effects, placing it squarely in the Read category. Low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused—an agent could only retrieve vote information, not affect any system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_reef_votes' and description 'Get vote data for reef content' indicate a retrieval operation with the verb 'Get' and no mention of modification, deletion, or financial transactions.
