## Why openlibrary_search is rated Low

This tool retrieves book data from Open Library without side effects. It matches the Read category definition: queries data with no reversible or irreversible modifications. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent might retrieve unwanted book information, but cannot harm systems, finances, or data integrity. Severity is low given the benign nature of book search queries.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Search books on Open Library' — a read-only query operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of code/commands."

## Use case

AI agents call openlibrary_search to retrieve information from UnClick 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 UnClick:

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