## Why delimit_gov_status is rated Low

Based on naming convention, this tool likely retrieves governance or status information without side effects. However, confidence is moderate (0.7) because the description is empty, leaving some ambiguity about actual behavior. The '_status' suffix strongly suggests a read operation returning current state information, which is typical of low-risk tools in governance/administration contexts.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'delimit_gov_status' suggests a status-checking operation; the '_status' suffix indicates query/retrieval of information rather than modification or execution."

## Use case

AI agents call delimit_gov_status 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_gov_status": {}
  }
}
```
