## Why contract-testing_get_pacticipant_version is rated Low

This tool retrieves information about a specific version of a pacticipant (a party in contract testing within PactFlow). It performs a query operation with no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no financial impact. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access information about pacticipants and their versions, which is read-only data retrieval.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Retrieve details' with no modification or deletion capabilities. Parameters are simple identifiers (pacticipantName, versionNumber) used for querying."

## Use case

AI agents call contract-testing_get_pacticipant_version to retrieve information from SmartBear 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 SmartBear MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "contract-testing_get_pacticipant_version": {}
  }
}
```
