## Why sok_stedsnavn is rated Low

This tool retrieves geographic reference data from a public registry (Sentralt Stedsnavnregister) without modifying any data or triggering external actions. The search operation has no side effects beyond returning static geographic information. Blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could retrieve place name data but cannot alter, delete, execute operations, or affect financial systems.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states it returns search results with place name spellings, municipality, county, and coordinates. The verb 'Søk' (search) and 'Returnerer treff' (returns matches) indicate query-only operations."

## Use case

AI agents call sok_stedsnavn to retrieve information from Kartverket 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 Kartverket:

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