Returns a single activity. You MUST request specific fields — Clio
AI agents call clio_get_activity to retrieve information from Clio Manage MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves data about a single activity from Clio Manage without creating, modifying, deleting, executing external operations, or committing financial transactions. It is a straightforward read operation. The requirement to 'request specific fields' indicates query filtering, not side effects. Severity is low because retrieving activity data poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'clio_get_activity' and description states 'Returns a single activity' — a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
