## Why get_estimate is rated Low

This tool performs a simple data retrieval operation to fetch an estimate record from the Sanka system. It takes an identifier as input and returns the corresponding estimate data. There is no mention of creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The action is read-only with no side effects, placing it squarely in the Read category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'get_estimate' and description states 'Load one estimate from Sanka by estimate id, numeric id, or external reference.' The verb 'load' indicates data retrieval with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_estimate to retrieve information from Sanka 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)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Sanka MCP Server:

```json
