  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {

## Why scrape_yelp is rated Low

This is a straightforward data retrieval operation. It fetches existing public information from Yelp without side effects. The cost structure (pay-per-call) is a pricing model, not a financial risk—no money is moved on behalf of the agent. The tool poses minimal security risk even if misused by an agent, as it merely aggregates public business information.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Scrape Yelp business pages' to retrieve 'rating, review count, hours, categories' for 'local-business research and review aggregation.' No modification, deletion, execution, or financial transaction occurs; the tool only…"

## Use case

AI agents call scrape_yelp 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": {
    "scrape_yelp": {}
  }
}
```
