## Why asc_list_app_categories is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries app category data with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only enumerate available categories, which is public information about app categorization on the App Store.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'asc_list_app_categories' contains 'list', which is a read-only operation that retrieves data without modification. The description 'List Apple' (though incomplete) indicates it retrieves category data from App Store Connect."

## Use case

AI agents call asc_list_app_categories to retrieve information from Appstoreconnect 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)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Appstoreconnect Mcp:

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