## Why lookup_holiday is rated Low

This tool retrieves static, public holiday data indexed by country and year. It performs no mutations, deletions, code execution, or financial transactions. The use case ('scheduling, booking, and HR/calendar agents') further confirms read-only retrieval.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'List public holidays for a country and year' — a pure data retrieval operation with no side effects. The example call and parameters (country code, year) confirm it queries and returns publicly available holiday information."

## Use case

AI agents call lookup_holiday 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_holiday": {}
  }
}
```
