## Why get_admin_statistics is rated Low

This tool retrieves statistics for administrative purposes. The verb 'get' and the lack of any language suggesting data modification, deletion, or external execution (no 'run', 'execute', 'delete', 'create', etc.) clearly categorize this as a Read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_admin_statistics' and description 'Get admin statistics' indicate a retrieval operation that queries administrative metrics or data without modification, creation, or deletion."

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

AI agents call get_admin_statistics to retrieve information from Mealie 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)
