## Why au-data-gov-list-tags is rated Low

This tool queries tag names from the Australian government data portal (data.gov.au). It retrieves information only and has no side effects—it neither modifies data, executes code, deletes content, nor triggers external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an agent could at worst retrieve all tag names, which are already public metadata.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'au-data-gov-list-tags' and description 'List or search tag names' indicate retrieval of metadata without modification or execution. The verb 'list' is characteristic of read operations."

## Use case

AI agents call au-data-gov-list-tags to retrieve information from Meta Data Mcp 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 Meta Data Mcp:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "au-data-gov-list-tags": {}
  }
}
```
