## Why ebay_get_listing_violations_summary is rated Low

Although the tool is non-functional (decommissioned), if it were functional it would be a Read operation that retrieves violation summary data. Since it is explicitly disabled and fails safely, it poses minimal risk. Classified as Read because the intended operation would only retrieve data without side effects. Severity is low because the tool cannot actually execute.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'get_listing_violations_summary' indicating a query/retrieval operation. Description explicitly states tool is DECOMMISSIONED and 'always fails with a clear message', meaning it cannot execute any action."

## Use case

AI agents call ebay_get_listing_violations_summary to retrieve information from Ebay 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)
