## Why asc_list_beta_groups is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries beta group information without side effects. It enables discovery of groups for subsequent actions but does not itself modify data, execute code, or perform destructive operations. The blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure about beta testing infrastructure.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'asc_list_beta_groups' and description explicitly states 'List beta groups' with details about retrieving name, kind, tester-count, public-link state, and ID. No modification, deletion, or execution implied—purely data retrieval."

## Use case

AI agents call asc_list_beta_groups 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_beta_groups": {}
  }
}
```
