RISK

Why search_places is rated Low

This tool performs geographic lookups and coordinate retrieval, which are fundamentally read operations. There is no creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact beyond the stated pay-per-call cost model. The use case ('For maps, logistics') confirms informational use. The cost is a standard API fee, not a financial transaction initiated by the tool itself.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Place/address geocoding (OpenStreetMap)' and lists outputs as 'full address, category, lat/lng for any landmark/location'. These are read-only queries that retrieve location data without modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_places safely

search_places Allowed

search_places is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
