## Why edgeconnect_get_flow_stats is rated Low

The tool name clearly indicates a read-only operation (get) focused on retrieving flow statistics. No description is available to confirm side effects, which lowers confidence slightly, but the naming convention strongly suggests this retrieves network telemetry data without making changes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'get_flow_stats', indicating a retrieval operation. The 'get' prefix and 'stats' suffix suggest querying flow statistics from EdgeConnect infrastructure without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call edgeconnect_get_flow_stats to retrieve information from Hpe Networking 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 Hpe Networking:

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