## Why system_wait_log is rated Low

This tool only reads/monitors device logs and waits for a pattern match. It does not modify data, execute code, or cause side effects beyond polling the log buffer. The returned data is the matching log lines. Severity is low as it only reads log data, though logs could potentially contain sensitive information.

From the tool's own definition: "Wait until a regex pattern appears in device logs. Polls the log buffer at regular intervals; returns the matching line(s) plus optional context, or times out."
