## Why list_blog_authors is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries author data without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It has no side effects and presents minimal risk if called by an AI agent, as it only exposes non-sensitive metadata about blog authors associated with the active brand.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'list_blog_authors' and description states it 'List all blog authors' with return of 'id+name' and optional detail parameter. The verb 'list' and absence of modification language indicate a query operation."

## Use case

AI agents call list_blog_authors to retrieve information from Postking 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 Postking Mcp:

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