What get-document does on Lucid

AI agents call get-document to retrieve information from Lucid 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 document data and optionally exports it as an image. It performs a read-only query operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes to the underlying data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could view documents they shouldn't access, but cannot alter or destroy them. This is a straightforward Read classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get-document' and description states it 'Get[s] a specific Lucid document by its ID' and 'Supports image export'. These are retrieval operations with no modification, deletion, or side effects.
