## Why get_note_info_tool is rated Low

The tool name and server context strongly suggest this retrieves note information without side effects. No modifying keywords (create, edit, delete, update) are present. Confidence is moderately high due to empty description, but the naming convention and sibling tools provide sufficient contextual evidence for Read classification.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_note_info_tool' indicates a retrieval operation. Given the server context of reading, creating, and managing notes with SQLite indexing for fast searches, this tool retrieves metadata or content about notes without modifying them."

## Use case
