Why spotify_search is rated Low

The rule that runs spotify_search safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Crawlora, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For spotify_search, this is the rule to start with:
spotify_search is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Crawlora, apply this rule, and every spotify_search call is checked against it from then on.
