## Why get_project_guidance is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries stored project guidance frameworks and checklists from the knowledge system. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation (Read category). Severity is low because misuse would only result in returning incorrect or irrelevant guidance, with no ability to harm data, systems, or workflows.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'receive[s] specialized instructions and checklists' and 'fetch[es] established project management protocols'. The verb 'invoke' and 'fetch' indicate data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations."

## Use case

AI agents call get_project_guidance to retrieve information from Project Guardian MCP 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 Project Guardian MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
