Why scrape_googleplay is rated Low
This tool performs information retrieval only—extracting publicly available app statistics from Google Play without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any code. The blast radius is minimal: an agent could misuse it to gather competitive intelligence or profile applications at scale, but no system or data integrity is at risk. Low cost (~$0.05) and read-only semantics confirm low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves app metadata from Google Play (rating, installs, developer) with no modification capability. The description states 'Scrape' and 'research' which are read-only data retrieval operations. Package name is a benign input parameter.

The rule that runs scrape_googleplay safely

scrape_googleplay is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
