## Why delimit_diff_report is rated Low

The tool name indicates it produces a report of differences, which is fundamentally a retrieval/analysis operation (Read category). However, confidence is moderate (0.6) because the description is empty, leaving uncertainty about whether it might have side effects or access to sensitive data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'delimit_diff_report' suggests generation of a diff or comparison report; 'diff' typically implies analysis or retrieval of differences between states, which is read-like in nature."

## Use case

AI agents call delimit_diff_report to retrieve information from Delimit 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 Delimit:

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