What get_thread does on Pointsyeah

AI agents call get_thread to retrieve information from Pointsyeah without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_thread needs a policy

This tool purely reads and returns existing thread data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. No arguments are described that would alter state or trigger external actions. The highest severity risk is information disclosure, which is typically low unless the thread contains highly sensitive data—a possibility but not indicated in the description.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Retrieve[s] a complete thread conversation' and 'fetches the full context of a discussion'.
