## Why get_publication is rated Low

This tool retrieves publication data by identifier. It performs a query-like operation that reads data from the Shopify store without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—it can only disclose existing publication information.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'get_publication' with description 'Fetch a specific publication by ID' — uses the verb 'Fetch', which is a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_publication to retrieve information from Shopify Graphql 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 Shopify Graphql:

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