Returns document metadata.
AI agents call clio_get_document 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.
Retrieving document metadata is a read-only operation with no side effects. While metadata about legal documents in a law firm context could be sensitive, the operation itself is non-destructive and passive. Severity is low because metadata retrieval alone poses minimal risk compared to actual document access, modification, or deletion.
From the tool's definition Tool returns document metadata without modification; the term 'returns' and 'metadata' indicate data retrieval. No creation, deletion, execution, or financial action is described.
