## Why falcon_get_host_details is rated Low

This tool retrieves host information based on an ID parameter. It performs a lookup/query operation with no capacity to modify, delete, execute code, or transfer funds. The blast radius is low because the worst outcome of misuse is unauthorized information disclosure about hosts, which while concerning, does not permit further system compromise through this tool alone.

From the tool's own definition: "Retrieve detailed host information by ID - the verb 'retrieve' and absence of any modification, deletion, or execution language clearly indicate a read-only operation. The function queries host details without side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call falcon_get_host_details to retrieve information from CrowdStrike Falcon 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 CrowdStrike Falcon:

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