## Why xlayer_natural_intent is rated Low

This tool performs language parsing and intent classification, returning structured data without modifying any state, executing external code, or triggering financial transactions. It is a pure read/transformation operation. Severity is low because misuse would only result in incorrect intent classification, not unauthorized access to sensitive data or harmful actions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Parse natural language into a ScoutAgent action intent' — a parsing/classification operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call xlayer_natural_intent to retrieve information from ScoutAgent without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
