## Why delimit_external_pr_check is rated Low

The tool appears to check the status or properties of external pull requests (PRs), which is a read operation. However, confidence is moderate (0.6) because the description is empty, leaving some ambiguity about whether it might perform side effects. Given the naming convention within this governance and task management context, a PR check most likely queries status without modification.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'delimit_external_pr_check' contains 'check', which typically implies reading or querying status rather than modifying data. The absence of action verbs like 'create', 'update', 'delete', 'execute', or 'run' suggests a read operation."

## Use case

AI agents call delimit_external_pr_check 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_external_pr_check": {}
  }
}
```
