What get_view does on Sanka MCP Server
AI agents call get_view to retrieve information from Sanka MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_view is rated Low
This tool retrieves and loads a previously saved view identified by its id. Loading/retrieving data is a Read operation with no data modification, deletion, or external execution. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—the worst outcome is access to information the requester may not be authorized for, but no data is modified or systems are triggered.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_view' and description 'Load one saved Sanka view by id' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access

get_view is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
