## Why search_coins is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only search against CoinGecko's public cryptocurrency data. It retrieves information about coins but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any transactions or code. Even though the server enables financial operations, this specific tool is purely informational. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an agent searching for coin data poses negligible risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Search CoinGecko for coins by name or ticker symbol' — a query operation that retrieves data without modifying state."

## Use case

AI agents call search_coins to retrieve information from Agenti 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 Agenti:

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