## Why searchPressReleases is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries publicly available press release data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It has no side effects and poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome is retrieving irrelevant or excessive press release data, which causes no harm to systems or data integrity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'searchPressReleases' and description 'Search for company press releases' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects. The verbs 'search' and 'find' confirm read-only data retrieval."

## Use case

AI agents call searchPressReleases to retrieve information from Financial Modeling Prep 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)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Financial Modeling Prep MCP Server:

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