Why get_invoice needs a policy

This is a retrieval operation that queries and returns invoice data without side effects. While invoices may contain financial information, the tool itself only reads data—it does not move money, create charges, or modify records. Severity is low because retrieving invoice data poses minimal risk; the blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure of potentially sensitive financial documents.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Load one invoice' with no modification, deletion, or execution capability. It retrieves a single document by identifier (invoice id, numeric id, or external reference).
