## Why get_forwarding_rule is rated Low

This tool retrieves configuration details about an existing forwarding rule without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The 'get' verb and 'details' retrieval pattern are characteristic of Read operations. The blast radius is minimal since it only exposes existing configuration data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_forwarding_rule' and description 'Get details of a specific forwarding rule' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_forwarding_rule to retrieve information from Vultr MCP 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 Vultr MCP:

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