## Why list_collections is rated Low

This is a pure read operation that enumerates database schema information. It has no side effects, creates no data, executes no code, and causes no irreversible changes. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent gaining this capability could only discover available data structures, not access the data itself or perform harmful actions. Classified as Read with low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_collections' and description 'List all database collections (tables)' — retrieves/queries structural metadata about database collections without modifying or executing operations."

## Use case

AI agents call list_collections to retrieve information from Webcake Storefront 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 Webcake Storefront:

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