## Why frantic.read_ledger is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries historical ledger data from a public feed. It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or move money. While the Frantic system involves financial transactions, this specific tool only reads immutable ledger records. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: an agent cannot cause harm by reading historical data that is already public.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name includes 'read' and description states 'Read the public Frantic ledger feed as structured receipt-backed events' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call frantic.read_ledger to retrieve information from Frantic 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 Frantic:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "frantic.read_ledger": {}
  }
