## Why servicenow_data_classification is rated Low

The name indicates a data classification function, which typically retrieves and organizes existing data without side effects. With an empty description, confidence is reduced, but the absence of action verbs like 'create', 'delete', 'execute', or 'change' and the Read-oriented naming pattern of similar ServiceNow tools (aggregate, attachment) suggest this is informational.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'servicenow_data_classification' suggests classification or categorization operations. Description is empty, limiting direct evidence."

## Use case

AI agents call servicenow_data_classification to retrieve information from Servicenow Api 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 Servicenow Api:

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