## Why moodle_get_assignment is rated Low

This tool queries existing data (assignment submission status and grades) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It has a limited blast radius—misuse would only expose academic records already associated with the querying user, not modify them. Confidence is high because the description clearly indicates data retrieval with no side effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool retrieves 'submission status and grade feedback' with no indication of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities. The verb 'get' and the data retrieval purpose confirm this is a read-only operation."

## Use case

AI agents call moodle_get_assignment to retrieve information from Moodle 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 Moodle:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "moodle_get_assignment": {}
  }
}
```
