## Why list_genkit_docs is rated Low

This tool retrieves or lists documentation files with no side effects—a classic Read operation. There is no data modification, code execution, deletion, or financial impact. The blast radius of misuse is minimal, as listing documentation poses no security risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_genkit_docs' and description 'Use this to see a list of available Genkit documentation files. Returns' indicate a retrieval operation that queries available documentation without modifying any data."

## Use case

AI agents call list_genkit_docs to retrieve information from Genkit MCP 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)

```json
{
  "version": "1",

}
