## Why custom_describe_custom_object_type is rated Low

This tool retrieves schema or metadata for custom object types in Marketo. It is a read-only query operation that has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any changes to data or systems. The use of 'describe' combined with the Marketo context (asset management platform) indicates introspection/information retrieval, placing it firmly in the Read category with low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'describe' and description indicates it 'Calls the Marketo REST API directly' to retrieve custom object type metadata/schema information."

## Use case

AI agents call custom_describe_custom_object_type to retrieve information from Marketo 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)
