## Why get_firm is rated Low

This tool retrieves public directory information by identifier without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval function with no side effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could enumerate public firm records but cannot alter them or cause harm beyond information disclosure of already-public data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Get one firm's public directory record by slug' with explicit 'read-only' server designation. Returns data (firm records) with no modification capability."

## Use case

AI agents call get_firm to retrieve information from Directory 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 Directory:

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