## Why estimate_cc_price is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only calculation to provide pricing recommendations. It queries or computes a value based on task parameters but does not create, modify, transfer funds, execute external operations, or delete anything. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an incorrect estimate might lead to poor job posting decisions, but the tool itself has no side effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Estimate[s] how many cogs (CC sub-unit) to pay for a task' and 'Returns recommended_cogs (integer) and recommended_cc'. The verb 'estimate' and 'returns' indicate data retrieval/calculation without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call estimate_cc_price to retrieve information from Ai Agent Bank 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 Ai Agent Bank:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
