## Why bazel_ios_show_defaults is rated Low

This tool reads and displays session defaults and configuration settings. It performs no state changes, no code execution, and no side effects—it is purely informational retrieval. This aligns with the Read category for tools that query or fetch data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'show_defaults' and description 'Show current session defaults, active profile, and config file settings' indicate a query operation that retrieves and displays configuration information without modifying or executing anything."

## Use case

AI agents call bazel_ios_show_defaults to retrieve information from XcodeBazelMCP 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 XcodeBazelMCP:

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