## Why get_public_status is rated Low

This tool only reads and returns public metadata about server status and configuration. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify any data, and does not involve financial transactions. It is a purely informational endpoint used for discovery and connectivity verification.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Returns the server's public readiness status, version string and discovery URLs' with no indication of modification, deletion, or execution of external operations."

## Use case

AI agents call get_public_status to retrieve information from agentView 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 agentView:

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