## Why list_local_models is rated Low

This tool queries and returns information about locally installed LLM models from Ollama and LM Studio. It has no side effects, does not execute code, create/modify/delete data, or perform any irreversible actions. It is purely informational (Read category). Severity is low because discovering available models poses minimal security risk even if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_local_models' and description 'Discover local LLM models' indicate a query/retrieval operation that lists available models without modification or execution."

## Use case

AI agents call list_local_models to retrieve information from Blender 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 Blender:

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