## Why competition_list_files is rated Low

This tool retrieves and lists files within a competition context. The verb 'list' is a read-only operation that has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not delete or move resources. It simply returns information about existing competition files to the user.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'competition_list_files' and description 'List files in a competition' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or execution of code."

## Use case

AI agents call competition_list_files to retrieve information from Kaggle-MCP 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 Kaggle-MCP:

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