## Why search_users is rated Low

This tool performs a search/query operation to retrieve user information from the Forgejo instance. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, delete resources, or move money. The classification as Read is appropriate for a search function.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'search_users' and description 'Search for users on the Forgejo instance' indicate a query operation that retrieves user data without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call search_users to retrieve information from Forgejo 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 Forgejo:

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