Get notes with optional filters
AI agents call get_notes to retrieve information from Google Workspace MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

It falls squarely into the Read category, posing minimal security risk. The low severity reflects that unauthorized note access, while potentially sensitive, is limited to information disclosure without capability to alter systems or data.
