## Why seafile_list_directory is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries directory contents without modifying data. It has no side effects and fits the Read category. Severity is low because directory enumeration alone poses minimal risk—it requires existing access and does not expose sensitive content or enable data exfiltration by itself.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'seafile_list_directory' indicates a directory listing operation. Sibling tools include 'seafile_read_file', 'seafile_get_file_info', 'seafile_list_libraries', and 'seafile_get_library_info'—all read-only retrieval operations."
