The absence of destructive language (delete, drop, remove) and the 'get_' prefix indicate a non-destructive data retrieval. Confidence is moderate (0.7) due to lack of a description; if the tool performs authentication checks or has side effects, severity could shift.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_user_id' suggests a retrieval operation that fetches an identifier. No description provided, but the naming convention is consistent with query/fetch operations that retrieve data without side effects.
