## Why list_forms is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only retrieval of form metadata. It queries existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The worst case for misuse is information disclosure (learning what forms exist and their access keys), which is a low-severity read-class risk. No data is altered, deleted, or used to trigger external operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool 'list_forms' retrieves and lists all forms on an account with metadata (id, name, access_key, inbox/spam counts)."

## Use case

AI agents call list_forms to retrieve information from Formpaste 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 Formpaste:

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