## Why get_jobs is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries job data from a BullMQ Redis queue filtered by status. It performs no side effects, does not execute code or external operations, does not modify or delete data, and does not involve financial transactions. It is a straightforward read operation analogous to fetching or listing records.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_jobs' and description 'Get jobs from queue by status' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data."

## Use case

AI agents call get_jobs to retrieve information from BullMQ 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)
