## Why get_refund_analysis is rated Low

This tool queries and analyzes refund metrics (count, amount, rates) but does not create, modify, delete, or reverse refunds themselves. It is a read-only analytical tool. Severity is medium rather than low because refund data is sensitive financial information that could inform unauthorized actions if misused, but the tool itself performs no side effects or state changes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_refund_analysis' and description 'Analyze refunds: total count, amount, refund rate vs successful charges' indicate data retrieval and analysis operations with no modification of records."

## Use case

AI agents call get_refund_analysis to retrieve information from Indie Metrics 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)
