## Why hent_tabell is rated Low

hent_tabell is a straightforward metadata lookup function that queries and returns information about StatFin database table structures. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, and poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—it simply returns reference information needed for understanding available data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool retrieves table metadata: 'title, dimensions (variables) and their valid value codes + labels' — pure data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution capability."

## Use case

AI agents call hent_tabell to retrieve information from Statfin 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 Statfin:

```json
{
