## Why gluecron_search_repos is rated Low

This is a pure search/query operation over public repositories. It retrieves information without side effects, state changes, or code execution. The HTTP method (GET) and immutable intent (returns ranked results) confirm Read category. Severity is low since it only exposes public repository metadata with no destructive, financial, or execution capabilities.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Full-text search of public repositories by name/description' and 'Mirrors GET /api/v2/search/repos. Returns ranked rows.' — a standard read-only GET operation that retrieves and ranks data with no modification or execution."

## Use case

AI agents call gluecron_search_repos to retrieve information from Gluecron 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 Gluecron:

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