Get detailed information about a specific policy
AI agents call get_policy_details to retrieve information from BeyondTrust EPM 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 and queries policy information without side effects. It falls clearly into the Read category as it only fetches data about existing policies. The severity is low because reading policy details poses minimal risk—an agent misusing it could only gain information about policies, not modify them or trigger privileged actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_policy_details' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific policy' indicate retrieval of existing policy data with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
