Read the full content of an Apple Note by its id (preferred, from list_notes/search_notes) or exact title.
AI agents call get_note to retrieve information from Apple Notes without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves data from Apple Notes without any side effects. It performs a query/fetch operation to obtain note content. While it accesses user data, the read-only nature and lack of destructive or executable capabilities make it a straightforward Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read the full content' with no modification or deletion capabilities. The operation is a simple retrieval by id or title from Apple Notes.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Read the full content of an Apple Note by its id (preferred, from list_notes/search_notes) or exact title. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Apple Notes MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Apple Notes MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_note: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Apple Notes. Nothing to install.
get_note is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_note rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_note. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_note is provided by the Apple Notes MCP server (simantaturja/apple-notes-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
