## Why get_defining_moments is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries historical football competition data (defining moments, qualification transitions, standings crossings). It performs no modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. It is a pure read operation with no side effects, consistent with other sibling tools like get_standings, get_schedule, and get_model_card on the same server.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_defining_moments' and description 'a competition's defining moments, the results that moved teams across the qualification line' indicate data retrieval only."

## Use case

AI agents call get_defining_moments to retrieve information from Footdigest 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)
