## Why get_book is rated Low

This tool queries the Open Library API to retrieve book metadata using a work ID. It performs a simple read operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only retrieve more book data than intended, which poses no security or safety risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_book' and description 'Get full details for a book by its Open Library work ID' indicate retrieval of data with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_book to retrieve information from Integrations 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 Integrations MCP:

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