What logs_get_panel_log_file does on Aapanel

Why logs_get_panel_log_file is rated Low
This tool retrieves log data from the aaPanel system without side effects. It is clearly a Read operation. Severity is medium rather than low because system logs may contain sensitive information (credentials, internal paths, service configurations, error details) that could aid further attacks if exposed to an unauthorized AI agent, but the tool itself does not modify or delete anything.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Read the aaPanel system log file' — both indicate data retrieval with no modification.
