## Why get_affirmations is rated Low

This tool retrieves pre-existing affirmation/grounding content and returns it to the caller. The verb 'Return' combined with the context of an agent operations platform suggests a simple read operation that queries or fetches stored content. There is no indication of state changes, irreversible actions, or external system effects. The 'Free' designation suggests no financial commitment.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_affirmations' and description 'Return multiple short grounding blocks in one call' indicate data retrieval with no side effects. No creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial operations are performed."

## Use case

AI agents call get_affirmations to retrieve information from Delx MCP Server 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)
