## Why sok_tabell is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries data from a public statistical database without side effects. It allows inspection of metadata about tables but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any code. The PxWeb API context and companion tools (hent_data, hent_tabell) that follow suggest a read-only query interface. Searching a public statistics database poses minimal risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs a search operation ('Search the Statistics Finland database for statistical tables by keyword') to locate and retrieve information about available tables, with no ability to modify, delete, or execute operations."

## Use case

AI agents call sok_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
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "sok_tabell": {}
  }
}
