## Why retrieve_files_categories is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only retrieval operation to fetch file category information. The verb 'retrieve' combined with the straightforward description of fetching data without any side effects (no creation, modification, deletion, or execution) clearly positions this in the Read category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'retrieve' and description states 'Retrieves a specific file category', indicating data query with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call retrieve_files_categories to retrieve information from Wpm 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 Wpm Mcp Server:

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