## Why search_photos is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries photo data based on search criteria. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions—it only reads and filters existing photo metadata or content. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: an attacker could discover sensitive photos a user has stored, but cannot alter or delete them. This is a standard Read classification.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'search_photos' and description 'Search photos by filename, name, or description keyword' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call search_photos to retrieve information from AirMCP 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 AirMCP:

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