## Why get_assignments is rated Low

This tool retrieves assignment information for a student without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation on educational data. The low severity reflects the minimal blast radius—misuse would only expose assignment data already accessible to the authenticated user within their course context.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_assignments' and description 'Get list of assignments' indicate retrieval of data with no modification. The phrase 'optionally filtered by course section ID' confirms this is a query operation."
