## Why ebay_get_orders is rated Low

This tool retrieves existing order data without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward query operation with no side effects. While the data may be sensitive to the seller's business, the blast radius of misuse is limited to unauthorized information disclosure rather than data loss, operational disruption, or financial impact.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'ebay_get_orders' and description 'Retrieve orders for the seller' indicate a read-only operation. The OAuth scopes required (sell.fulfillment.readonly or sell.fulfillment) explicitly show readonly access is available."

## Use case

AI agents call ebay_get_orders 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)
