## Why who.health.countries is rated Low

Tool retrieves static reference data without side effects or external operations.

From the tool's own definition: "List all 194 WHO member countries and territories with codes and names."

## Use case

AI agents call who.health.countries to retrieve information from Apibase 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 Apibase:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "who.health.countries": {}
  }
}
```
