## Why list-quality-rules is rated Low

The 'list' verb is characteristic of Read operations that retrieve or query data without side effects. Despite the empty description, the tool name strongly indicates it returns a collection of quality rules for inspection rather than creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. Confidence is moderately high but reduced (0.85) due to lack of explicit description.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list-quality-rules' indicates a listing/retrieval operation. No description provided, but naming convention suggests querying or enumerating existing quality rules rather than modifying or executing operations."

## Use case

AI agents call list-quality-rules to retrieve information from CodeAnalysis MCP Server 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)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches CodeAnalysis MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list-quality-rules": {}
  }
}
```
