## Why theprotocol_getAgentByDID is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries agent profile data without side effects. The explicit notes that it returns a public view with no PII and requires no authentication confirm it is a passive information retrieval operation. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. Blast radius is minimal—the information is already public and no sensitive data is exposed.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name includes 'Get' and description states 'Get agent profile by DID (public view, no PII). Public — no auth.' This is a read-only retrieval operation returning public data without sensitive information."

## Use case

AI agents call theprotocol_getAgentByDID to retrieve information from TheProtocol — Sovereign AI Agent Platform 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 TheProtocol — Sovereign AI Agent Platform:

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