## Why get-freebusy is rated Low

This tool queries calendar data to retrieve availability information. It performs a pure read operation with no side effects—it neither creates, modifies, deletes, executes code, nor involves financial transactions. The restricted output (busy/free blocks only, not full event details) further confirms it is a safe, informational query.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get-freebusy' and description states it 'Check calendar availability' and 'Returns: busy time blocks per calendar'. Explicitly notes 'only shows busy/free, not event details', indicating retrieval without modification."

## Use case
