What open does on M365connector

AI agents call open to retrieve information from M365connector without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why open needs a policy

The tool opens and reads content from a prior search result, returning summaries and metadata. This is a read-only operation with no side effects. Severity is medium because it accesses M365 content (potentially sensitive corporate documents, emails, etc.) via a browser extension, but it does not modify or delete anything.
