## Why get_standings is rated Low

get_standings fetches and displays static tournament data (standings, points, positions). It is a pure read operation analogous to querying a sports database. No data is created, modified, deleted, executed, or has financial impact. The low severity reflects that misuse cannot cause harm—an agent querying standings repeatedly poses no risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool retrieves 'current group standings for a competition, points, goal difference, position, and qualification status per team'—a query operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_standings 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)

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

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