## Why triviadb_questions is rated Low

This tool retrieves trivia questions based on filtering parameters (category, difficulty, type) but performs no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius of misuse is negligible—an AI could at worst retrieve many trivia questions, which has no security or operational impact.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Get trivia questions' — a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The verb 'Get' combined with 'from' indicates a read-only query to a trivia database."

## Use case

AI agents call triviadb_questions 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": {
    "triviadb_questions": {}
  }
}
```
