## Why sportmonks_get_countries is rated Low

This tool retrieves a static list of countries from the Sports Hub API without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and presents minimal security risk. The only conceivable misuse would be to enumerate available countries for reconnaissance, which poses negligible harm.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_countries' and description 'List all available countries' indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution. The verb 'List' and 'get' are classic Read operations."

## Use case

AI agents call sportmonks_get_countries to retrieve information from Sports Hub 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 Sports Hub:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
