Load approval rule options for an object, including available fields, operators, approvers, and block targets.
AI agents call get_approval_rule_options to retrieve information from Sanka MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves configuration options and metadata about approval rules. It performs no mutations, executions, or destructive operations. The action is read-only, exposing available choices for approval rule configuration without applying or executing any changes. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains only informational access to approval rule schema and metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_approval_rule_options' and description 'Load approval rule options' indicate data retrieval only.
