## Why opendata_domains_list is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only query of a vocabulary or registry. It retrieves and lists existing domain categories used by a provider registry. There are no side effects, no data modification, no code execution, and no destructive operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve information about available domains.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'opendata_domains_list' and description 'List the controlled domain vocabulary' indicate a retrieval operation that queries and returns metadata about domain classifications without modifying any data."

## Use case

AI agents call opendata_domains_list 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",
