## Why transkribus_system_db_status is rated Low

This is a read-only diagnostic tool that queries database status without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only obtain status information, which is informational and non-actionable for causing harm.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate it 'Check[s] the status of the Transkribus database' — a query operation that retrieves status information with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call transkribus_system_db_status to retrieve information from Transkribus 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 Transkribus:

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