## Why get_voter_info is rated Low

This tool retrieves publicly available or registry-based election and polling location data for a given voter address. While it accesses personal information (voter registration), it performs no side effects, does not modify or delete data, and does not execute external operations or commit financial transactions. It is clearly a Read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_voter_info' and description 'Get election and polling location information' — the verb 'Get' and the qualifier 'election and polling location information' indicate data retrieval with no modification or deletion."

## Use case

AI agents call get_voter_info to retrieve information from Govbase 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 Govbase:

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