## Why world-bank-get-indicator-data is rated Low

This tool retrieves time-series economic/development indicator data from the World Bank for specified countries and indicators. It performs a read-only query against publicly available data with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or financial impact. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve more data than intended, not alter or delete it.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Fetch indicator time-series values' — both indicate data retrieval with no modification. The World Bank API is a public open data source."

## Use case

AI agents call world-bank-get-indicator-data 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)
