## Why list_orders is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries existing work order data from Shopmonkey with optional filters. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. This is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'list_orders' and description states it 'List work orders' with filtering options (status, customer ID, date range, location). The verb 'list' and the filtering parameters indicate data retrieval with no modification or deletion."

## Use case

AI agents call list_orders 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_orders": {}
  }
}
```
