## Why element_get_text is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries text content from an element without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a read-only operation that falls clearly under the Read category. The low severity reflects that accessing text content poses minimal security risk unless the element contains sensitive data, but the action itself is non-destructive and non-executable.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'element_get_text' and description 'Get the text content of an element' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call element_get_text to retrieve information from Mcp Anything without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Mcp Anything:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "element_get_text": {}
  }
}
