## Why query_uk_insolvency is rated Low

This tool purely retrieves structured data from a public official record (The Gazette). It performs read-only lookups with search and filter functionality, which is characteristic of a Read category tool. The data accessed is already public, and the tool has no side effects—it cannot modify, execute code, delete records, or affect financial transactions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool retrieves and queries insolvency notices from UK public records. Description states it provides 'company-level facts only' with filters and search capabilities. No creation, modification, deletion, or execution capabilities mentioned."

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case
