## Why get_tax_rate is rated Low

This tool retrieves tax rate information for a given token and wallet combination. It is a pure read operation with no side effects, reversibility concerns, code execution, financial transfers, or data destruction involved. The low severity reflects that misuse would at worst return incorrect information to an AI agent, with no direct impact on blockchain state or user assets.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_tax_rate' and description 'Get current tax rate for a token+wallet' indicate a query operation that retrieves data without modifying or executing state-changing operations."

## Use case

AI agents call get_tax_rate to retrieve information from Basis MCP Server 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 Basis MCP Server:

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