What get_event does on Microsoft MCP

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

Why get_event needs a policy

The tool retrieves calendar event data without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It has no side effects beyond reading information. While calendar events may contain sensitive information, the read-only nature and typical low impact of viewing event details (especially user's own events in a unified account context) places this in the Read category with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_event' and description 'Get full event details' indicate data retrieval without modification. This is a query operation that fetches event information.
