Why system_control_plane_secret_rotation_apply is rated High
This tool applies a secret rotation operation on the control plane, which triggers an active system operation. Rotating secrets at the control plane level can affect authentication, authorization, and access across all services — making it a high-blast-radius Execute action. It is not purely destructive (secrets are replaced, not deleted), but misuse could lock out systems or cause widespread service disruption.
