## Why falcon_search_applications is rated Low

This is a search/query tool that retrieves information about applications in the CrowdStrike Falcon environment. It performs reconnaissance without side effects. Severity is medium rather than low because the tool could expose sensitive application inventory data useful for adversary reconnaissance, though it does not execute commands, modify data, or create financial impact.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'falcon_search_applications' and description 'Search applications in the environment' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data."

## Use case

AI agents call falcon_search_applications 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)
