## Why read_tab_container is rated Low

This tool queries the state of a TabContainer or TabBar UI component in Godot. The 'read' prefix and verb clearly indicate data retrieval with no side effects. Reading UI component state has minimal blast radius even if called unexpectedly by an agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'read_' prefix and description states 'Read TabContainer/TabBar', indicating it retrieves UI state without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call read_tab_container to retrieve information from Godot 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 Godot:

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