## Why gradle-dependencies is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only operation that queries and displays the Gradle dependency tree. There are no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no irreversible actions. It simply retrieves and presents structured dependency information, making it a pure Read operation with low severity risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'gradle-dependencies' and description 'Shows the Gradle dependency tree with structured output per configuration' indicate this retrieves and queries dependency information without modifying or executing code."

## Use case

AI agents call gradle-dependencies to retrieve information from Git 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 Git:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "gradle-dependencies": {}
  }
}
```
