Why get_data_asset_properties is rated Low

This tool retrieves property values from an existing data asset in Unreal Engine without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. While it reads 'ALL' properties without filtering, this is still a query operation with no side effects. The worst-case misuse would be information disclosure about asset properties, which is a low-severity risk in an engine editor context.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_data_asset_properties' and description 'Read ALL property values from a data asset' explicitly indicate retrieval of data without modification. The verb 'Read' and 'get' are characteristic of Read operations.
