## Why get_head_to_head is rated Low

The tool performs data retrieval operations only. It queries historical football statistics and records without creating, modifying, executing code, or causing any destructive actions. This is a straightforward read operation consistent with other sibling tools on the server (get_bracket, get_standings, get_schedule, etc.) that all retrieve pre-computed or stored information.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool retrieves historical head-to-head records, wins, draws, goals, and recent meetings between teams—all read-only queries with no modification or side effects."
