## Why lookup_cve is rated Low

This tool retrieves and returns information about known CVEs from a lookup database. It performs no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not trigger financial transactions. The use case is security monitoring and awareness. Despite the security-sensitive domain, the tool itself is purely informational and read-only, making it a low-risk Read category with low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'lookup_cve' and description 'Look up a CVE (description, CVSS, references, affected products)' indicate retrieval of public security vulnerability metadata with no modification, deletion, or execution capability."

## Use case

AI agents call lookup_cve to retrieve information from GoCreative Agent API 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 GoCreative Agent API:

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