Why theprotocol_oauthIntrospect is rated Low
Token introspection is a non-destructive query operation that examines token validity and claims. However, it receives 'medium' severity because an AI agent with introspection access could extract sensitive token metadata, scope information, or user claims to inform subsequent unauthorized actions—though the tool itself makes no modifications.
From the tool's definition Tool performs OAuth 2.0 token introspection per RFC 7662, which queries and validates token metadata without modifying state. The name and description indicate a read-only information retrieval operation.
