## Why arif_scan_local_instructions is rated Low

The name indicates a read/query operation examining local instructions, likely for governance or compliance checking within the Constitutional AI framework. However, confidence is reduced to 0.6 because the description is empty and uninformative, leaving uncertainty about actual capabilities.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'arif_scan_local_instructions' suggests scanning or querying local instruction data; no destructive or write operations implied by 'scan'."

## Use case

AI agents call arif_scan_local_instructions to retrieve information from Arifos 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 Arifos:

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