## Why get_folder_items is rated Low

This tool queries or lists contents of a folder in Box (a cloud storage service). It is a read-only operation that retrieves information without side effects, modifications, or irreversible changes. The verb 'Get' and the action of listing folder contents are characteristic of Read category tools.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_folder_items' and description 'Get items in Box folder' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data."

## Use case

AI agents call get_folder_items to retrieve information from Ncp 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 Ncp:

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