## Why outlook_diagnose is rated Low

The tool reads and compares account configuration data from Outlook and Mail.app. It performs diagnostics and guides the user but does not modify, create, or delete any data. Pure read/query operation with minimal blast radius.

From the tool's own definition: "Checks which email accounts are configured in Microsoft Outlook and compares them with Mail.app"

## Use case

AI agents call outlook_diagnose to retrieve information from Local 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 Local:

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