## Why lookup_github_releases is rated Low

This tool queries public GitHub release information and returns structured metadata. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—purely informational retrieval. The pay-per-call mechanism and cost are incidental. Low severity because misuse (e.g., excessive queries) carries minimal blast radius—worst case is wasted credits, not data corruption or unauthorized actions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool 'lookup_github_releases' retrieves and lists GitHub release data (tag, name, body, published) with no modification or side effects. Description explicitly states 'List recent GitHub releases' and includes a read-only example query."

## Use case

AI agents call lookup_github_releases 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_github_releases": {}
  }
}
```
