## Why list_locations is rated Low

This tool retrieves and enumerates shop locations without modifying data, triggering operations, or causing irreversible changes. It is purely informational and used for identifying resource identifiers (location IDs) for subsequent filtering. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—exposure of location data is a low-severity concern in a business context.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_locations' and description 'List all shop locations in Shopmonkey' indicates a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' is explicitly a read operation, and no data modification, deletion, or execution is described."

## Use case

AI agents call list_locations to retrieve information from Shopmonkey MCP Server 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 Shopmonkey MCP Server:

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