Why sok_stedsnavn is rated Low
This tool retrieves geographic reference data from a public registry (Sentralt Stedsnavnregister) without modifying any data or triggering external actions. The search operation has no side effects beyond returning static geographic information.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it returns search results with place name spellings, municipality, county, and coordinates. The verb 'Søk' (search) and 'Returnerer treff' (returns matches) indicate query-only operations.
