Why carbon_electricity_emissions is rated Low
This tool retrieves or computes emissions data based on input parameters (electricity consumption). It performs a read-only analysis without creating, modifying, deleting data, executing arbitrary code, or moving money. The output is informational/educational. Misuse by an AI agent would have negligible blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Estimate[s] carbon emissions for electricity consumption' — a calculation or lookup operation with no data modification, deletion, or external side effects.

The rule that runs carbon_electricity_emissions safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and UnClick, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For carbon_electricity_emissions, this is the rule to start with:
carbon_electricity_emissions 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 UnClick, apply this rule, and every carbon_electricity_emissions call is checked against it from then on.
