## Why bsocial_readPosts is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries social post data from the blockchain without any side effects. It performs data retrieval operations (fetch, read) across multiple query patterns but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The capability to paginate and filter results does not change its fundamental read-only nature. This is a straightforward Read category tool with low risk of misuse.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'bsocial_readPosts' and description states it 'Read social posts from the BSV blockchain' with operations to 'fetch posts by author', 'specific post by transaction ID', or 'recent posts' with 'pagination and feed functionality'."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets
