Get all notes for a task.
AI agents call get_task_notes to retrieve information from RTM 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 existing notes associated with a task without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a pure read operation with minimal security impact. The worst case is information disclosure of task notes, which is low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_task_notes' and description states 'Get all notes for a task.' The verb 'get' and the retrieval-only nature of the operation indicate data retrieval with no modifications or side effects.
