## Why maven-dependencies is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays Maven project dependency information in structured format. It performs a read-only analysis of existing project metadata without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The output is informational only, presenting the dependency tree structure. No side effects or irreversible actions are possible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'maven-dependencies' and description 'Shows the Maven dependency tree' indicate a query/retrieval operation that displays dependency information with no modification, deletion, or execution of code."

## Use case

AI agents call maven-dependencies to retrieve information from Search 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 Search:

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