## Why omdb_search is rated Low

This is a straightforward data retrieval tool that queries a movie/TV database and returns search results. It has no capability to modify data, execute code, delete records, or perform financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve unwanted information or perform excessive queries, neither of which causes lasting harm. This clearly falls under the Read category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs search operation on OMDB (Open Movie Database) for movies/TV shows. The description uses 'Search' which indicates querying/retrieval without modification or execution of external effects."

Risk signals: Handles credentials or secrets (api_key)

## Use case

AI agents call omdb_search to retrieve information from UnClick 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)
