AI agents call samr_search_technical_committees to retrieve information from GBMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves information about SAMR standardization technical committees. As a search operation that returns metadata about committees without modifying, deleting, or executing anything, this is firmly in the Read category. The low severity reflects that committee metadata is non-sensitive public information and has minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'search' and description explicitly states it searches for technical committees (metadata), not standards documents or data modification. This is a query-only operation with no side effects.

samr_search_technical_committees is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the samr_search_technical_committees rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
