Why servers_capacity_inspect is rated Low
This tool queries server capacity metrics without side effects. It retrieves monitoring or diagnostic data about server capacity, analogous to a 'get' or 'fetch' operation. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The low severity reflects that capacity information alone poses minimal risk unless misused to inform targeted attacks, but the immediate action is information retrieval only.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'inspect' and description explicitly states 'Read servers.capacity.inspect'. The verb 'inspect' combined with the stated 'Read' operation confirms this retrieves information without modification.
