Get document content as plain text. Extracts text from Yjs document format. Useful for reading documents before editing.
AI agents call docs_get_content_text to retrieve information from Docs 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 and extracts document content without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It has no side effects beyond returning data to the caller. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused — an agent could only access text that is already accessible within the system.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get document content as plain text' and 'Useful for reading documents before editing' — purely retrieval with no side effects. The description explicitly frames this as a read operation.
