Likely traffic control is going to want to know what you're doing. Who
you're flagged under and what you're carrying. Just coming up and
parking in orbit will be a problem. Most systems unless VERY poor and
under staffed will ahve some revenue cutters/Orbit guard type stuff
that'll come in and check out any ships coming in plus naval
auxiliaries.

That's not to say you can't come in with an armed merchantman and a
whole suite of Elint gear, but you'd better be prepared to be asked
questions and not dally too long for lack of some reason to be hanging
around. If you're mapping the surface in your orbit, it'll be a pretty
specific pattern AND if you spend too much time over sensitive places,
you might be shooed away OR boarded. Likely if there are sensitive
installations, the coasties will have those orbits off limits OR
restricted.

All this is really LOTs of chances for Rock Scissors Paper where it
comes to gear, tactics and counter measures.
