## Why show_tools_app is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays information about available tools in an organized format. It has no side effects, does not modify or delete data, and does not execute code or trigger external operations. It is a simple informational/discovery tool, making it a Read operation with low severity since misuse would only expose metadata about the application itself.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'show_tools_app' with description 'List all tools organized by category as a Prefab card' performs a retrieval and display operation."

## Use case

AI agents call show_tools_app 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)
