## Why crm_search_companies is rated Low

This is a search/query function that retrieves company data from HubSpot CRM based on filter criteria. Search operations are inherently read-only with no side effects, no irreversible actions, and no code execution. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could retrieve company information it shouldn't see, but cannot modify, delete, or execute operations. This is a standard Read category tool.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'crm_search_companies' with description 'Search companies with company-specific filters' indicates a query operation that retrieves data without modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call crm_search_companies to retrieve information from HubSpot 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 HubSpot MCP:

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