## Why getIncomeStatement is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries financial statement data for analysis purposes. It has no side effects on data or systems; it only fetches existing information. Even if misused by an AI agent, the worst outcome would be excessive API calls or unauthorized access to financial information, not destruction or modification of data. The blast radius is limited to potential information disclosure or service degradation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'getIncomeStatement' and description states it 'Access[es]...income statement data' and 'Track[s] profitability, compare[s] competitors' — all read-only retrieval operations with no modification, creation, or deletion of data."

## Use case

AI agents call getIncomeStatement to retrieve information from Financial Modeling Prep 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 Financial Modeling Prep:

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