## Why adw.county_cancer is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries pre-computed public health statistics (cancer incidence data) from a driver-backed epidemiological index. It accepts parameters (county FIPS or name) and returns aggregated statistics with no side effects. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly indicates it 'Returns' data: 'national percentile rank, band, rate per 100k, and top cancer sites'."

## Use case

AI agents call adw.county_cancer 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)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches AlpineDataWorks Intelligence Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "adw.county_cancer": {}
  }
}
