## Why search_dad_jokes is rated Low

This tool queries an external API to retrieve joke data based on search criteria. It performs a read-only operation with no capability to modify, delete, execute code, or affect financial systems. The blast radius of misuse is minimal as the worst outcome would be unnecessary API calls to a public joke service.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Search for dad jokes matching a term on icanhazdadjoke.com.' - this is a search operation that retrieves data with no side effects or modifications."

## Use case

AI agents call search_dad_jokes 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": {
    "search_dad_jokes": {}
