## Why get_match_brief is rated Low

This is a read-only retrieval tool that queries and returns football match analysis data. It has no side effects, does not execute code or external operations, does not modify or delete data, and involves no financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve unwanted match data, which presents no meaningful security risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool retrieves match briefs, pre-match analysis, post-match recaps, and event impacts. Operations are queries by match_id with optional locale parameter. No modification, deletion, execution, or financial transaction occurs."

## Use case
