What getOrders does on Azure Cosmos DB MCP Server

AI agents call getOrders to retrieve information from Azure Cosmos DB MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why getOrders needs a policy

This tool retrieves existing order records from a database filtered by email address. It is a read-only query operation with no side effects. Severity is medium rather than low because orders may contain sensitive personal and transactional information (addresses, payment details, order history), so unauthorized retrieval poses a privacy and data exposure risk if an AI agent queries orders for unintended email…

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getOrders' combined with description 'Get all orders in the Azure Cosmos DB database for the selected email' indicates data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or financial transaction execution.
