## Why adw.adw_253 is rated Low

This tool queries existing geospatial and hydrological data (river discharge measurements and flood risk assessment) to provide intelligence. It is a read-only retrieval and analysis operation with no side effects. Even if misused by an agent, the blast radius is minimal—it only returns data, cannot alter infrastructure, trigger warnings, or cause financial harm. Classified as Read with low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate a query/analysis operation: 'Is river-discharge building toward flood risk' — the verb structure is interrogative (asking whether a condition exists), and the description contains no language suggesting data modification,…"

## Use case

AI agents call adw.adw_253 to retrieve information from AlpineDataWorks Intelligence 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)
