## Why moodle_list_assignments is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries assignment data from a Moodle course without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It has no side effects beyond fetching information. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could view assignments it shouldn't, but cannot alter grades, delete assignments, or trigger actions. This is a standard Read category tool.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate listing/retrieving assignments: 'List all assignments in a course'. The verb 'list' and the retrieval-only nature (no mention of modification, deletion, or execution) confirm this is a read operation."

## Use case

AI agents call moodle_list_assignments 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_list_assignments": {}
  }
}
```
