## Why thunderstore_get_mod is rated Low

This is a straightforward data retrieval endpoint that queries a mod database and returns informational metadata. The tool has no side effects, cannot modify or delete data, and does not execute code or commit financial transactions. It is purely informational browsing of mod details, fitting the Read category with low severity due to minimal blast radius from misuse.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs a GET operation to retrieve mod details by namespace and name. Returns read-only information: latest version, downloads, rating, community_listings, and metadata. No mutation, deletion, execution, or financial operations occur."

## Use case
