## Why podcast_get_episodes is rated Low

This tool retrieves podcast episode information from a public API (Podcast Index) without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a straightforward read operation with no capability to create, modify, delete, or execute code. Severity is low because misuse would only expose publicly available podcast metadata.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'podcast_get_episodes' and description states 'Get episodes for a podcast from Podcast Index.' The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of querying a podcast directory indicate data retrieval with no side effects."

Risk signals: Handles credentials or secrets (api_key)
