## Why n8n_health_check is rated Low

This tool performs a health check and status query of an external n8n automation instance. It retrieves information about connectivity and available features but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The action is purely informational with no side effects, making it a Read category tool with low severity risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'n8n_health_check' and description 'Check n8n instance health and API connectivity. Returns status and available features.' indicate a query operation that retrieves diagnostic information without modifying or executing operations."
