get_field_options
AI agents call get_field_options to retrieve information from MCP Atlassian without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name suggests querying or retrieving field metadata/options from Jira or Confluence, which is a non-destructive data retrieval operation. No modification, deletion, execution, or financial activity is implied. Empty description reduces confidence slightly, but naming convention and server context indicate Read category. Severity is low as this is information retrieval with minimal blast radius if misused.
