Why get_record needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only query operation against Salesforce to fetch record data. It retrieves information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could retrieve sensitive data it shouldn't access, but this is a confidentiality concern rather than a destructive or operational risk. Classified as Read with low severity.
