## Why demo_vid_help is rated Low

This is a help/documentation tool that queries and returns metadata about other tools. It performs no operations on data, system state, or external resources. It is a read-only informational function with minimal risk even if invoked arbitrarily by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'List all available demo-vid-mcp tools and their purpose' — a purely informational operation that retrieves and displays documentation about available tools with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call demo_vid_help to retrieve information from Demo Vid 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 Demo Vid:

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