## Why get_profitability is rated Low

This tool retrieves and aggregates historical financial data to answer profitability questions. It performs no writes, deletes, executions, or financial transactions. While the data is financial in nature, the tool itself is a passive query/reporting function with no side effects or ability to move money or change business state.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool returns read-only financial metrics: 'Revenue vs. costs, net profit, and margin over a period' with optional breakdown 'by client.' All sibling tools follow a 'get_*' pattern indicating data retrieval."

## Use case

AI agents call get_profitability to retrieve information from Savi Tools 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 Savi Tools:

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