Get related records from linked worksheets
AI agents call get_related_worksheet_records to retrieve information from HAP 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 and retrieves data from related worksheets through existing links. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations — it simply reads and returns information. The low severity reflects the minimal blast radius of misuse: an AI agent could retrieve unintended data but cannot alter system state, delete information, or trigger external operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'Get related records from linked worksheets' — a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion. The verb 'get' combined with 'from' indicates data fetching without side effects.
