## Why List_For_Folder is rated Low

This tool retrieves and lists folder contents or folder information by path. Listing is a read-only operation that does not modify data, execute code, delete resources, or affect financial systems. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose information already accessible to the requesting user in their Files.com environment.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'List_For_Folder' and description 'List Folders by Path' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call List_For_Folder to retrieve information from Files Com 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 Files Com:

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