## Why gmail_get_message is rated Low

This tool retrieves email messages by ID and returns their content. It performs a query operation (get) with no side effects on the data—the message is not modified, deleted, or used to trigger external actions. The severity is medium rather than low because email messages may contain sensitive personal, financial, or confidential information; misuse could lead to unauthorized information disclosure.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'gmail_get_message' and description 'Get a specific message by ID with full content including headers and body' indicates retrieval of existing email data with no modification or deletion."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Sage MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "gmail_get_message": {}
  }
}
```
